From Magnum: we had this after a series of excellent Gouges wines and it stood its ground: quite a lot of red fruit, spices, an elegant and well structured wine, with punch and fully in its drinking window.

Deep ruby red. Nose shows dried baked fruits, morello cherries, raisin, dried fennel seeds, cistus and light garrigue characters. Fairly full body with chewy slightly rustic tannins. This is a powerful weighty wine, not that deep flavour but rather smatterings of dried cherry, fennel and black cherry.

Nose shows some black fruit, coffee and some oak! Palate is a bit disjointed. Mid palate shows silky texture with some oak but the fruit is subdued and it ends with a very bitter & tannic aftertaste. This is very tight and austere presently...not convinced that this will age well!!!
