The 2003 Les Sentius (60% Grenache, 22% Carignan, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Syrah aged 12 months in French oak) boasts a deep ruby/purple color, wonderful density, and copious quantities of sweet strawberries, raspberries, crushed rocks, and white flowers. Expressive, elegant, intense, and long, it can be enjoyed over the next 3-5 years.

This younger-vines mix of Garnacha, Carignan, Cab Sauvignon and Syrah is very attractive and loaded with graphite, schisty mineral and black cherry aromas. The palate comes in waves, with the first delivering plum and berry and the second offering chocolate, herbs and lavender. Quite pretty and very tannic. Hold until 2008, if possible.——M.S.(8/1/2007)—— 91
