Yeah, I got another bottle last week. No room for more, but will see how long it all lasts.

It's in the subject line. That's pretty visible, no?

Consistent with my last bottle. A little reticent at first, but opens beautifully with some air. Pure Syrah fruit, spice and florality with a faint meatiness emerging with more air. Flavour with barely any sense of weight. Wonderful wine, though I'll keep my hands off other bottles for some time.

Quite a few notes on this domaine here on this forum. Blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan. $20 Cdn, 14.5% alc, good natural cork. This is bottle #1 of 3 but will be also looking for their Cairanne!
Color is a bright red-ruby, medium intense center. Blackcurrant on the nose with some brambleberry.
Initial entry thought was dry-ish, nice tannic structure but unbalanced finish. Much better on day two...spice, black fruits but no chocolate. Ripe fruit here, indicative of the vintage? "Expecting some savoury character here" from across the table. Medium-bodied, try again in a year or so.

Hi Tim,
So..., Belgium still exists
Sorry, but absolutely nowhere. I'd love people like Mostade to bring some, but they don't seem to be very interested. I still have the very nasty Négociant label sticked on my back!

A 55-45 per cent blend of Syrah and Grenache.
Deep cherry red in the glass.
Spicy, currants, sweet berry fruit, lightly smoky, red licorice, cinnamon on the complex nose.
Medium weight, spicy, tangy, rather high acidity, cherry, raspberry, red licorice, peppery, bright, smoked meat, perhaps a little sharp, incredibly fresh and vibrant.
Drying, with raspberry fruit on the finish.
Purchased at $14.95 (Canadian).
