I pulled the cork tonight based on the recommendation of this site and found that this wine has tons of still un-captured longevity. Great fruit, length and acid. It was great to drink but it’s good for at least another five years

The wine was medium to dark ruby in colour and offered red and dark fruit and smoke aromas on the nose. On the palate, the wine showed imprecise red and dark berry flavours, raspberry, garrigue, some spice, cinnamon and smoke, with medium-level acidity, well-integrated medium-level tannin and good length of the garrigue-driven finish. The medium-bodied wine had good concentration and was reasonably smooth and reasonably balanced. It benefited from aeration and should drink even better in two to three years. My wife liked it. 88+ for now, with potential to improve.

Popped and poured. Rich, vibrant red and black fruit with an intriguing underlay of powdery tannins and a nice cedary note. Delicious with grilled steak.
