(all grenache). Opaque ruby. Black raspberry, Indian spices and licorice on the highly perfumed nose, with a sexy floral overtone gaining strength with air. Red and dark berry preserve flavors show excellent depth and sweetness, along with an assertive spiciness. Supple tannins build on a finish that accentuates the floral and berry notes. 92-94 points

Vineyard soil. galets, sand, clay-limestone. Lieu-dit. Serres, La Crau, Guigasse. 100% Grenache. 90% concrete cuve, 10% demi-muid. Mid crimson. A hint of overripeness on the nose – very sweet on the palate, almost sticky! Very dramatic and would need careful food matching with all that sweetness and alcohol. 17 points
