my rating ★★★★★★★★☆☆

very good. spicy and strong.
珍しくフランスのワインにトライ。ワインドットコムのお薦めワインを、通常20ドルのところ13ドルで。
しっかりした好きなタイプのワイン。もう一度買うかもしれません。
(追加)..と思ったけれど、1−2時間経ったら、なんだか酸味が気になってきた。コルクを抜いてから30分くらいおいてはあったけれど、割合すぐに飲んだ方がよいみたい。なんとなく意外。

winemaker's notes:
Harvested exclusively from 100-year old vines, the Grande Reserve, a blend of 60% Carignane and 40% Syrah, is rich and full-bodied with abundant dark cherry fruit and notes of leather, spice and licorice and balanced wood tones from aging in Allier French oak. The wine boasts an impressive track record with accolades from the wine press, including a “92” rating for this vintage from the Wine & Spirits Top 100 issue and “94” points from The Wine Enthusiast for the last vintage.
