Professional Review: Brambly berry, cherry and raspberry, spices, black pepper... all are present in this authentic French country wine. There are also some aromas of Garrigue (Rosemary, thyme and lavender) giving a minty, herbal note, that are quite refreshing as well. The wine is a perfect match with a nice rosemary marinated roasted lamb.
My Review: The berry, cherry/raspberry, and light spices/black pepper mix of aromas reminded me of the old black licorice candies we used to eat. I really liked this wine, it was fuller on the mouth and had a great balance. Right amount of tannins, not too high. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
