This wine I had with my meaty Chinese meal was a pleasant surprise. It had a deep ruby hue and aromas of blueberry, blackberry, and spice. On the palate, it was full-bodied and robust, with flavors of dark fruits, black pepper, and earthy undertones. It had a long finish, and it paired nicely with the pork and poultry dishes. Overall, it was an enjoyable and complex wine that had great structure and balance.

Prunes, loam, and chocolate aromas. Mid palate shows a bit of blackberry and moves to some fine grained tannins. The finish lingers a loooong time with spicy pepper.
Decanted for an hour to remove a weird if mild acetone high note. It's over the hill. Should've drunk it last year at the latest, I think.

Les nez est sur le fruit noir avec des relents de vanille. Le fruit est bien présent à l'attaque avec des notes torréfiées mais ça laisse place assez rapidement à une trame tannique et une certaine verdeur et acidité. Le carafer aurait été une bonne idée...

The big boat! Dark cherry with some fruit character and spice. Dark cherry fruit to it. That has some fake wood on it. A little grippy. Denton notes yum and promising.

Nez harmonieux
Belle acidité - jeunes tanins mais sans agressivité
Longueur moyenne.
Excellent rapport qualité-prix
