Not normally a single varietal, this interesting wine is from the under-appreciated South of France.
Appearance: A deep inky purple.
Nose: A tight meaty nose at first, it turns rounder and plusher after a few minutes. Notes of blackcurrant, mint, cedar and anise, as well as a vegetal undertone.
Palate: At first the palate is rather savoury. It opens with oak, sour cherry and bitter chocolate. It then, however, moves to a plummy and soft finish with warm tannins.
Rating: Overall, a strong and robust red. It is lengthy and very pleasant: perfect for a hearty cheese selection and worth the price (<20) 8/10.
