  Deep ruby. Nose of black cherry and blueberry. Bold and smooth, but not a lot of complexity.

  Surtout des arômes balsamiques, ainsi que floraux et de sous-bois. Nez de fruits (et saveurs de cassis, bleuet) entrelacés d'épices...sel de céleri, et de charbon...soupçon d'encens. Un beau nez complexe ! Un vin corsé, riche avec des tannins légèrement poussiéreux, bien intégrés...fruité et texturé. Plus harmonieux après l'avoir décanté...excellent avec un repas copieux. Moyenne à longue finale. Boire d'ici 2-3 ans. 91++

  dark, inky in appearance. nose is fruity, welch's, black and blue berries, vanilla, but there's balance with a determined herbal and loamy quality along with spearmint. palate is balanced as well, some acidic pop but the texture is velvety and supple. with time and air, the flavour grows more and more savoury. good juice this.

  Deep ruby, Malbec and cab franc blend, medium nose of cooked blueberry and blackberry, oak, clove.
  Dry, medium tannins, high acid, high %, medium body. Pronounced flavors which match the nose well, lots of blue fruit and oak spice, a beautiful pepper note coming off the cab franc. Baked blueberry pie. Wonderful lingering long finish. Rates a Very good, only really missing some complexity. Got half a case on sale, super happy with this one. 4.2
