No formal notes, but this was quite good. Very different and cooler climate style than the 2010 Alban Reva served right after.

Deep color, nice zestiness, with dark fruits. This had a nice aroma, and a muted finish. Everything in balance.

Clear, deep garnet with no rim browning. White pepper, bramble, black plum. Low acids, medium to low tannins. Mint. Medium balanced finish.
