  Dark maroon red color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 3 hours. I think this is right where you want it to be. Shows dried cherry, raspberry, plum, garrigue, some roasted meat, and white pepper on the nose. The palate is medium bodied, fine grained tannins, dried red fruits, garrigue, roasted meat, a touch of tar and graphite on the finish. Very nice balance and traditional style. My dad the cab drinker was surprisingly enamored with this given the weight and finesse.

  Medium maroon color with 5-7mm bricked edge. Aerated into glasses. Drank 2 glasses over 90 minutes. Fairly classic CDP with baked cherries, black cherry, garrigue, pepper and spice cake. The palate is medium bodied, baked cherry, black cherry cobbler, pepper, garrigue and wood spice on a medium finish. This fairly well integrated now and ready to drink. I would not push these more than a couple years.

  Perhaps a mix of blackcurrant and violet in bouquet - or what gives the detailed and dark sweetness? (plums?)
  A good wine, pleasing, and in great balance now. Drink now. Best around 18 degrees.
  Maybe a bit to neutral as chateauneuf? But a nice wine everyone can enjoy. However, not worth the price - do not buy unless on offer.

  Drinking beautifully. Dense, chewy blue and black fruits will a grilled meat and mineral tinge. The finish is sweet and long with the tannins nicely integrated. Wish I had more bottles!

  Funky, sour, sweaty sock nose. Surprisingly lush and fine palate with some sweetness to the fruit despite not showing on the nose. A touch dilute in comparison to the others, but lots of leafy tobacco, herbal, spice notes. Weird showing, but nice wine.
