Very bright dark ruby. A fighting middleweight. Fine black fruits, some blackcurrant, some plummy. Touches of cedar and tobacco. Clean acidity. No great length but enough. Lacks a huge body. Not a criticism but praise, a perfect lunchtime claret.

Deze fles geeft toch een wat beperkt aroma. Wat donker fruit, wat kruidig. In de mond donker fruit, goede maar ook vrij drogende tannines. In de afdronk ook koffir rn drop.

Wijn komt tweede dag nog beter tot zijn recht dan eerste. In de neus zwart fruit en bessen. In de afdronk ook wat koffie en chocolade. Wederom een lekker zuurtje.

Black Friday Wines (Farpointe Cellar): Manure and hay on the nose, with cherry, saddle leather, and floral notes. Smooth on the palate, with lots of earth flavors supported by cherry and rose petals.

Used one for cooking, worked great, added good flavor. Drank one with the Beef Bourguignon, it was a bit tannic, not a lot of fruit.

Good colour, bit rustic nose and not a lot of flesh in the middle taste; however balanced and nicely drinking, typically 2006.

Aromas of cow pasture and a little dark cherry. Dark cherry and cassis on the very dry palate. A better match with food than by itself. A decent wine.

In de neus geur van wat zoet donker fruit. Fruit komt terug in de smaak. Wat dun. Tannies mooi zacht. Lekker zuurtje.
