This wine won a Gold Medal at the 2009 Decanter World Wine Awards, and with its intense nose of cooked and dried fruit, dates and vanilla it is easy to see what seduced the judges. Full and rounded on the palate it is a wine with remarkable finesse for its very modest price tag.

"This Languedoc blend of Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre has a little floral lift, and some gamey notes on the nose with a nutty Grenache background, and lots of zest and crunch. We like the crispness of the black fruit, combining crunch sweet fruit depth. A bargain at £4.99 when you buy two until the end of October 2009. Score: 86/100 "

"I'm a huge fan of the unrestrained carignan-heavy wines from the clay-limestone terraces of this part of France. This has wonderful scented notes of dried fruits, dates and a whiff of eucalyptus and tree resin. A great match with red meats."

    I bought several based on the gold award. I'm not sure what the judges had been tasting prior to this but I think it must have scorched their taste buds.Odd taste and odd c<em class='sw'>ass</em>erole the following day!

  • Very odd wine

    I expected a light fruity wine with some balance - instead the "tree resin" of the Lyons review hits you like turpentine! Decant for 12 hours and it is OK - is this a joke? I was also misled by the decanter gold award - this is very odd stuff indeed.

    This can be a brilliant wine but you've got to decant it for 12hrs+ otherwise its akin to the most stringent nasty cheap wine you've tried to forget 5stars for decanting undrinkable otherwise
