Quite austere, maybe a few years past its prime, nose redolent of Grenache, but palate very restrained, reminiscent of faded fruit. Quite tannic actually. J says you can really sense the “vielles vignes”. Very good but would love to try something newer, maybe a 2015

Old world - wonderful bottle of wine - enjoying the 2009 vintage- unbelievably smooth- hint of tobacco - if you can find this wine I strongly recommend.
