Wine Enthusiast review: 91 - "A blend of 35 % Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, 10% Vermentino, and 20% Carignana this is a lightly perfumed wine with a strong herbal element. It is a ripe finely structured wine, with great acidity and orange flavors. A style of wine that will be better for a few more months, it should be drunk from late 2017. "

My review: This sounds harsh but tasting this wine is like when you go on a date with a really attractive person, but it turns out they have as much personality as a paperclip - and not the fun ones shaped like stars of whatever. A faint but promising aroma of honey and citrus fruits carry into a boring, dry finish. Not a bad wine; there just wasn't much to it.

I tasted this wine without food.
