This is marvelous ripe sweet fruit. This 2007 unoaked mix is lush, sweet middle palate, reasonable length, easy mouth - not furry at all.
Very very gluggable, quite light actually, ready.
40% grenache 40% Syrah. The syrah is properly there - Nice
So serving to your mates ? - Show then the bottle but not the price - Splosh into a carrafe and leave for an hour in the pantry (above cellar temperature, but not hot sitting room). Now, things begin to grow.......
.....Wild blackberry nose, with a not too spirity niff, Ok 14% - but with a full fruit cup style, it is grown-up without being hot.
Good as an apperatif as well, Very nice with Veggie cheezy pizza and with riccotta and spinach filo pastries.
Hmmnn - Sweet ground multi coloured pepper corns, dark ripe mulberries that have fallen from the tree, a tiny aluminium note from the grenache, but only tiny.
I really like this, it is fresh as well as quenching.
No oak, so don't leave for much more than two years in the rack.
For me this will be perfect in October 2010. However if you glug every day, a six pack will be gone by the end of the month.
For £4.49 Marvellous
For £5.99 Very good deal
For £8.99 Still loads better than dried out old boots CdR's (which are trying to be what they're NOT)
Those who want 1980's gum numbing, bitter bretted mouldy barrel, old walking boots CdR wont appreciate this.
Oh dear, I nearly forgot
job done.
