Bright ruby. Nose of fresh rainy plums, raspberries, and light leather. The palate is sweet, boysenberry and blueberry, and slightly hot. The finish is where a little rusticity shows up, still ripe dark fruits but also some dead leaves. The flavors were a good match for chicken tortillas, but less heat would have helped.

Light nose of red fruit, ripe but not overripe berry and cherry palate, nicely tart, fruity and very slight wood finish, pretty long. Not great but a solid CdP representative.

A weekend of Jacky Truchot; 1/28/2006-1/29/2006 (Washington DC): Yeasty/cookie dough nose. Some dark fruit and Grenache-y kick. Solid body, not big or alcoholic. Good streak of acid on the finish which leads it to be a good food wine. Muted fruit and persistent sesame bread notes begin to detract though and definite oxidative qualities. The element are not harmonious and the overall effect is not good.
Day 2 - Clearly smells of Madeira. Nice with food, but not by itself.

Vin rustique, à l'ancienne.
Manque de gourmandise.
Devrait s'améliorer sur quelques années.
