Really enjoyed this - decanted for 1 hour and served with grilled pork chops. Lots of sediment in the bottle. Dark black / purple color. Lavendar/garrigue, glycerin, blackberry, floral on nose. On palate, full body (but balanced) with black cherry, blackberry jam, fig flavor profile. Medium+ finish. Really enjoyed this and went great with the pork chops. 91+

Based on earlier notes, I had let this one cellar for a while. It is drinking very nicely, but does not offer much in terms of complexity. The fruit is fresh and forthcoming, but the finish is rather short and light. Perhaps it is in a off period, so I would recommend to wait a year or two before trying again.

Pure dark fruit. Great balance. Clean and focused even with the relatively forward fruit. A nice pure expression of fruit without softness and oak. Great for the price.

Very big but still young.

Dark fruit, tart berry, tobacco, very harsh structure; not a fan.
