Robert Parker
"The 2007 Minervois Estibals is a blend of separately-vinified Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache from a single, chalk-clay vineyard. Scents of black raspberry, rosemary, and wood smoke lead to a luscious, quite viscous amalgam of bitter-sweet black chocolate, cassis, and seedy black raspberries that saturates the palate without losing its primary juiciness.
