Cuvée Extrême Cotes du Roussillon Villages AOC 2008

Tasted 12/11/2010. M&S, £6.29. A reasonable Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre ('CSM') Rhone -style blend, representing the 'new Roussillon'. Nice ruby colour, clear with hint of brown tinges. Pleasant stewed dark fruits and some pepper on the nose. A slight kick on the palate and a good finish. Not my favourite but not bad. 15.5/20
