Produced in Bezier way down in South East France, this wine
had a very healthy clarity,with a deep intensity with a Red/Ruby colour.The
smell was a mystery to us with clean/musty/pleasant and no smell, being
suggested! We felt that it was quite tart with a lot of tannins. With a medium
body, and plenty of fruit taste in the mouth. The flavour lasted. This wine
attracted an average score of 7.
