Good nose of tar, some dark cherries and hints of meat and iron. Really good on the palate, lots of fruits and minerals and some garrigue ,with coarse grained tanning, spiciness and good acidity. Impressive for a CdR Villages. It needs ~hour to open of, but it was going strong for several nights. Not very complex but really well made. 90-91 (great with burgers!).

A ripping wine. Rich fruit with subtle earth. Long smooth finish. Drinking great right now and for at least 4-7 more years.

Very good. Smooth with good fruit surrounding a mostly earthy/tarry taste. Crisp acidity. Finish lingers pleasantly.
