Comment of Hachette Wine Guide:
"Grenache and Mourvèdre share the spotlight in this wine with a deep garnet color. The nose, after aeration, opens on scents of black fruits, undergrowth with a touch of game. The mouth is equally gourmet with spicy notes (pepper and garrigue) and quality tannins, melted. A beautiful harmony. "
