80% old-vine Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourverdre; --from klwines.com: 92 points Robert Parker. "The 2003 Cuvee Confiance Rasteau ratchets up the quality level. It boasts raspberry and creme de cassis notes interwoven with notions of espresso, scorched earth, and figs. Full-bodied and ripe, with high alcohol as well as a heady, layered personality revealing huge levels of fruit, glycerin, and alcohol, it should drink gorgeously for 12-14 years." (02/06)

Great nose, very complex - some red fruit, earth, licorice, and alcohol. On the palate, the licorice is reinforced with sugar-topped berries and glycerin. While I think the alcohol weight was purposefully heavy, I think it could have been tactfully balanced a little better. This is a GREAT complex bottle, definitely worth seeking. ... + or - evals...
