By the glass pour at restaurant. Opaque dark violet. Nose blackberries and some spice. Room temp -- too warm, would benefit from a slight chill for some more focus. Palate rich and somewhat heavy, dark fruits, with time I can coax some vanilla, herbs and garrigue, hint of tart strawberries. Not bad, riper than I prefer but perhaps that would settle down with some more age. Good with grilled lamb chops. 89 pts

Pleasant, if simple, fruit. Better than average at the pricepoint.
