Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2011
(70% grenache and 30% syrah; all done in concrete) Bright ruby. High-pitched aromas of redcurrant and cherry, with complicating notes of rose, spicecake and minerals. Taut and energetic, offering sappy red fruit flavors and a sexy floral pastille quality. Silky tannins add shape to the spicy, incisive finish. This is drinking very well now.

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2012-2014, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2009
Mid ruby. Liquorice and even a hint of red fruits. Very round and plush and easy. Then drying tannins really get a grip on the palate. Quite diffuse – much more developed than most but it lacks real tension. (JR)
