Deep ruby, nose of vanilla, ceadr, leather, black cherry, blackcurrant, red cherry & red plum. Weighty body, strong acidity with plenty of chalky tannins. To taste red cherry, redcurrant, red plum, vanilla & smoke. Decent length. Good. Well balanced but lacking intensity & precision.

Opened last night. Medium-dark red with good viscosity. Plum, blueberry and cassis in the nose. Open for business in the mouth; pretty, smooth, good fruit. A bit short on the finish, but a great value. Sorry it is my last bottle. 5-12-15-8: 90/100.

Nothing to get excited about, but OK for the small price. Pretty much opaque dark red. Lots of glycerine. Nose is reticent, even after the bottle sat open overnight, but shows some forest floor and hints of red berries. A bit rustic in the mouth, even rough, with more than a little tannic, woody bitterness. Charming this is not, and at least with this showing, not sure there is enough fruit to overcome the tannin. 5-12-14-7: 88/100.

Excellent value and aging really well. Perfect drinking window.

Frustratingly corked - both bottles. Such a disappointment
