Tasting notes
I found some chewy tannin in the 2014 En Gobelet (34% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 21% Mourvedre, 15% Counoise and 5% Tannat), but it has impressive aromatics (black raspberries, crushed flowers, garrigue and pepper), medium to full-bodied richness and a good finish.

Deep, brilliant red. Lively, mineral-accented cherry and red currant aromas, along with hints of tea rose and Asian spices. Taut and focused on entry, offering sappy cherry, red berry and spicecake flavors that deepen and become fleshier with air. Silky tannins give shape and gentle grip to the impressively long, focused finish, which leaves a note of candied flowers behind. This graceful wine will age slowly and positively on its balance.
Bright purple. A wild, highly complex bouquet evokes ripe cherry and red berries, incense and candied flowers. Shows superb depth and energy to its bitter cherry and raspberry liqueur flavors, which spread out and gain sweetness with aeration. Closes on a seductive floral note, with slow-building tannins and outstanding focus and persistence.
