Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2006

(a blend of 68% grenache, 18% mourvedre and 14% syrah) Bright medium ruby. Exotic, almost candied aromas of cherry, raspberry and pepper; very Southern Rhone in its liqueur-like character. Fat, sweet and stuffed with expressive black raspberry liqueur flavor. Wonderfully lush and pliant wine yet also quite succulent, finishing expressive, sweet and very long, with a hint of leather.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2006-2011, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2006

Lovely aromas of spicy black cherries are found in the nose of the 2004 Grenache Besoleil. Broad, medium-bodied, and satiny-textured, this dark berry-flavored beauty also reveals notes of tar and black pepper in its finish. It should be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years. Tel.
