  I think we are still on the young side for this wine. Decanting is a must. One hour plus will do it. Lovely rich purple color. As the wine warmed and breathed it revealed a very prominent blue fruit nose. On the palate, blue notes, almost ripe cherries, and oak. Full bodied with a pleasant finish. At about four hours, some the of refinement started to fade and the balance diminished. A bit more time in the cellar will reward the patient among us, but its fun to sip now.

  Very lovely wine.
  
  This really changed sitting in the decanter. After 2 hrs, Tons of blackberry, plum, gravel and a bit of oak. Tannins are plush, lovely mouthfeel. What a huge change over 2 hours. Really amazing.

  Give it a 1 hour decant. Amazing value. This has refreshing and light fruit notes mixed in with bell pepper. Not too heavy, but has a nice complexity. Great with French or Italian food.

  Heavy wine, 75% Merlot and 25% Cab Franc. Purple subtons, few and large between legs, aromas still opening and intense and still tied taste.
  Deserves to be kept for decades.

  Really nice and an amazing value from a region not known for value. I would definitely buy again.
