Quite deep coloured, not dissimilar to examples from Argentina; brambly fruit on the nose with a very strong stemmy element. Nothing like Arg Malbec on the nose! Reasonably full and rich but has similar body to other Loire reds. Very dry on the finish. A bit rasping. Not a charmer. A little alcoholic on the finish.

Quite a savoury nose with plum and violet undercurrents; good richness on the palate, some impressive material here, takes a while to open up but very satisfying when it does. Serious structure. Needs food.

10/31/2012 - BeerBudget Does not like this wine:
Drunk on two consecutive nights. Stored open, unrefrigerated in a cool room between tastings.
First night, decanted about two hours before drinking. Dark purple and opaque. Extremely tannic, with savory aromas of game and herbs.
Opened up a bit after 24 hours, with sweeter-tasting aromas of dark fruits emerging, but still very prickly and austere.

Very pleasant wine. To drink between 12°C and 15°C.
Nice violet color and a taste of black fruits (blackcurrant,blackberry).
good to drink now.
