Julia Kelada rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Yeah! Coming in just under my $20 cap, a full on intense Languedoc-Roussillon wine at $19.70 in Quebec. This wine is dry and full bodied yet has the sweetness of flowers to create a great personality wine. It is a dark black fruit colour in the glass, releasing delicious notes.
On the nose there are dark black cherries, blueberries and casis. As the wine breathes longer red fruit like raspberries and cranberries become more present. There is a delicious soothing vanilla note to grounds the richness of the fruits and a delicate lavender tone.

On the palate, there are very consistent notes as on the nose. The black cherries, blueberries and casis, cranberries step forward and then the palate becomes coated with a vanilla tone. Green vegetal leaves make their introduction before a leather note married with dark chocolate. Pepper spice notes round up this great personality wine with good length tannins. I give this a 92.

Bottoms up!
