Somewhat muted nose. Generous in the mouth, with melon, flowers, gravel and minerals. Nice structure, long finish. Interesting, complex, vibrant wine. I would buy this, if it wasn't too expensive.

Light red in color, with red fruits on the nose. Soft and fruity on the palate. Some sage and black pepper hints. Low in tannins and ready to drink. Nice bistro wine.

Dark red in color, especially compared to the La Pialade. Fruits run more in the black spectrum. Good weight, nice balance, peppery finish, moderate tannins.

Dark red in color. Ripe, rich fruits. Some hints of raw pepper steak. Structured, but the tannins are very fine.

Dark red in color. Somewhat closed node. Cherry liquor, roasted plums and red raspberry on the palate, with a sweet, long, peppery finish. Fine grained tannins make this wine drinkable now, but it surely will get better. My only concern was a bit of alcoholic heat on the back end.
