  I was worried I may have kept this wine too long before consuming but it has matured well. Probably past peak as the fruit has faded but still nice flavour and smooth. Very slight signs of ageing with some bricking but overall still very dark in the glass. Original drinking window was to 2021 but now 2020 which is probably correct. I would drink this year.

  Very unusual on the nose, like overripe fruit. A bit on the bitter side. Maybe a bad bottle, but was not enjoyed.

  Sweet style, more Grenache than Syrah it's fairly simple and lacks structure. Good flavor overall so it's drinkable but not memorable.

  Rich sweet ripe red fruit with a hint of iodine. Evident though ripe sweet tannins. Mid-Atlantic styled.

  13/20
  Un CdR peu convainquant. Déjà au nez les levures ne m'inspirent pas grand chose pour la suite. Sous une étiquette attrayante, il cache un CdR industriel et franchement insipide. Les tanins sont rudes inutilement puisqu'il n'a ni l'acidité, ni le corps, ni la structure pour prétendre quoi que ce soit. Près de 20$ pour cette bouteille, Ça frise la fraude..... Bref, je n'aime pas et je n'éviterai bien de racheter tout vin de ce producteur....
