* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This cuvée stands in firm contrast to the winery’s more feminine-styled Dame de Piegros, showing the meaty, gamy side of Syrah, powerful spice and blackberry fruit and lashings of vanilla. Ends with firm acids and gripping tannins. This needs 3–4 years of cellaring.

Mainly (95%) Rolle, with a touch of Ugni Blanc, this is a plump, medium-bodied wine with modest mineral and pink grapefruit elements. Shows a touch of warmth on the finish. Drink now.

This blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache spends 12 months aging in oak prior to release and that influence shows on the midpalate, where the tannins are soft and smoothed out, almost creamy in texture. Leather, spice and meaty notes accent blackberry fruit. Drink now–2012.

A solid effort, showing plenty of fruit—strawberries and cherries—and some slightly floral elements. A touch on the full side, it’s balanced by a sense of minerality, but finishing a little short.
