Note di degustazione
Full medium ruby. Crushed dark berries, bitter chocolate, spicecake and a hint of prune on the superripe but impressively primary nose. Dense, sweet and superripe, with enticing flavors of red- and blackcurrant, smoke and peat. A voluptuous, creamy wine with solid underlying spine. Finishes with rich, thoroughly ripe tannins and excellent persistence. Very sexy wine.

The elegant, pretty 2001 Idus, a blend of 40% Carignan, 20% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, and 10% Grenache aged 18 months in French oak, offers up aromas of raspberries, cherries, and that striking liquid minerality typical of this appellation. Medium-bodied with copious quantities of sweet fruit as well as undeniable complexity and character, it will drink well for 5-7 years.

Warming, rich, and welcoming. Very well made. Why is it cheaper than the above wine, I wondered? Aparently because it doesn't have as good a reputation and the grapes are not as highly rated. (JR)
