  I truly wasn’t expecting the flavors I got view recent reviews. Aroma is of red fruits, earthy and spicy. Dark red to garnet color, but with purple rim around the glass. The flavor is equally fruity, spicy and earthy. Smooth tannins, with chewy texture, but the alcohol was a bit strong. I’m actually drinking it over 3 nights, this is night 2. I got hints of chocolate tonight, which I didn’t get last night.

  Not very good. Sharp, bitter wine. Tried decanting, aeration, and let it sit overnight. Overnight, it just grew more bitterness. It's flavors are medicinal. Really can't say anything good about it.

  dark red-purple
  pleasant fruity-earthy-spicy nose, some oak-vanilla aroma and fresh earthy clove note.
  medium bodied, fresh, soft tannins, lean woody structure, spices and wood note, persistent finish, with cooking chocolate, vanilla and butter.
  the aroma impresses more than the palate - so can be a nice wine for food.

  Moins bonne que la dernière dégusté il y a environs 1 an. Sur les fruits noirs, touche de violette et d'épices. Malheureusement, l'alcool était un peu trop présent, même après aération. D'après moi il y a une bonne variation de bouteille sur ce vin à voir les commentaires... Tout de même bien mais pas un super RQP, rendu à 20$ à la SAQ...
