Tasting Notes: 
Haleine fantastique de l'intrigue sombre de la France, par l'intermédiaire de Californie Orin Swift, merci! Region in France is Catalanes,ignore 'region' from drop-down on website, and is made in Maury, France. Blend of stout but accessibly soft 80% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 8% Carignan; nose of black currents and unsweetened Dutch chocolate. Soft mouthfeel tastes black raspberry jam, phosphate licorice tickle-fizz, pomegranate flavors with graphite fluid, concord black purple with slight pepper-cardamom back pallet edge, short clean finish. Pure exquisite silky exuberance in a glass...after glass. The creamy pepper satin smooth rolled-edge shape across the pallet -just by letting it open 1 hour, has sincerely pushed this non-plussed elegant wine to easily 96 pts. Exactly the complex conundrum I expect from others vin in 20 times this price point will offer. Bravissimo, Monsieur David Phinney.
