  PnP and let sit for a couple of minutes. Aromas of violets and cherries with a hint of iron. Color is garnet fading to purple-red with a very thin strip of orange at the edge. On the palate red fruit, bright acid, well-integrated tannin leaving a warm, slightly mouth-drying finish with food. Initially a bit thin the wine filled in and was quite delicious over the hour or so that we drank it with and after dinner.

  PnP. Dark cherry, smoke and menthol aromas and flavors at opening. Nice, translucent brick red color with some orange at the edge of the glass. Tannin is strong, but not grippy, and well-integrated. After a few minutes some violet, forest floor and dirt starting to appear. After being open for about 20-30 minutes some raisin, leather, mushroom and herbal notes are coming through. Drink with pork chops with rosemary, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper and a kale-lettuce salad with toasted prosciutto and a black cherry-balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a bit of blue cheese to cut the sweetness of the dressing. We had crottin (local mature goat cheese) on baguette on the side. With the pork the wine comes across more with the herbal notes, menthol, leather, forest floor and mushroom with the fruit as secondary and the tannin cleansing the palate gently. The finish leaves more of a mouth-watering acid impression with a bit of heat. With the salad the menthol comes forward more with a bright heat, tannin and a drier finish. With the crottin dark cherry, menthol, a bright heat, tannin and a drier finish. Delicious. This bottle vanished quickly with dinner surprising both of us.

  Smells like a barnyard. The wine has high acidity. The body is medium. The wine finishes long. It tastes like alcohol/hot and dust. The wine has leathery texture. Very interesting and good with food. However the deliciousness factor is fairly low. Other years of the same wine are much better.
