Grenache/syrah/mourvèdre. Fruity and spicy, herbal and incense-tinged, Bertrand's '13 Corbières is a typically engaging southern French red, with personality and integrity. This edition is a bit edgy and sharp, not to say rustic, but I appreciate the wild flavours and the purposeful lack of commercial polish. Decant and serve with grilled sausages and the like. Tasted August 2016. Value Rating: **1/2
****1/2 drink or cellar Exceptional Value!

Here’s a crowd-pleasing Grenache/Syrah/Mourvèdre red blend that barrels from the glass with lifted aromas of ripe berry fruit and spice before letting loose with a full-fruited stream of rich, luscious, palate flavours—dark berry fruit, sweet vanilla, fennel and mocha. It’s mid weight with satin-smooth mouthfeel and a fairly lengthy balanced and dry, mouth-watering finish and aftertaste. Go for the gusto; back up the van. (Vic Harradine)

Heather Wall rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a delightful and satisfying GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre) blend from the Corbieres,Languedoc. Typicity reigns here as we have the jammy red/black fruit of Grenache mulled with the black pepper and baking spices of Syrah and delicate perfume of Mourvedre. Violets, vanilla, cassis and baked plums engage in this rich full-bodied, smooth, big red wine. Enjoy with finer cuts of red meats. Great value at $17.
