Friday, September 27, 2013 - PnP, served non-blind. Dark as night. Blackberry, smoke, creamy cassis and soil notes. Nothing spoofed here, with a lovely texture and purity of fruit that transcends the price-tag. Sensibly full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins, medium finish and etOh that shows good resolution (15,1%abv). A quality drop while you are waiting for more structured vintages to mature. recommended
