Starts with intriguing aromas of leather and spice, then follows that up with masses of blackberry and plum flavors. Supple tannins and a long finish reflect the full maturity of the grapes and long (50–55 days) maceration.

A bit closed on the nose, but the potential of this wine is obvious. Crafted from 110-year-old Grenache, the flavors are intense, bathing the palate in layers of plum pudding, anise and chocolate. A huge wine in need of at least five years. Owner Louis Barruol suggests 15 years may be a better bet.

Vanilla, spice and peppery clove dominate the nose with some gaminess and black olive showing through. Lush, spicy cherry, coffee and licorice flavors. Full-bodied, slightly mouthwatering with gripping tannins and a dry vanilla finish.

A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, all from vines averaging 80 years of age, this is a stupendously concentrated wine that still possesses nuance and complexity. Exotic spices—notably lavender and clove—scent the bouquet, while the huge palate boasts layers of plum fruit and thick, velvety tannins. Drinkable now, but probably at its best after 2012.
