This is an import, car boot, tax paid in France.
Syrah, grenache, carrignan and other indigenous varieties. An ancient property
Wonderful value, on the Oz Clarke scale you probably get 4 euro of wine and pay 25 cents tax !
A super wine, loads of fruit amazingly fresh and alive, good cut to the palate with grip, just the right amount of oak, real depth, yet balanced with a sweet middle palate, and good length. Absurdly good value. Still alive and grippy on the 2nd Day. Could age for a few years. Consumed with trad very crusted thin base pizza (proper style), black olives and sun dried tomatoes - fab punch to the palate, cuts through with peppery power, and then that sweet lift
.Won the Aix de Provence gold medal again. Guide de Hachette - dont know how many stars.
If in France - look out for this one on the Chateau Virant in gold print label, (not the Gipsey Legend cuvee).
