  At a restaurant, from a half bottle. Essentially PnP, although it developed reasonably over 30-60 minutes. These notes were taken at the end of that period. The wine's color is a medium+ garnet. The nose has red fruit (cherries+), a bit of tar, a bit of leather, a bit of earth. The palate has cherries, some forest floor, not a lot of complexity. The body of the wine is a solid medium with balanced acids and tannins. The tannins are mostly integrated by now and support the wine but are not intrusive. This is a nice wine, but not a great one (especially for the price at a restaurant). ABV 14.5%

  Great bouquet. Short tannic wall finish. Disappointing.

  This wine was medium bodied with medium tannins, the fruit was well balanced but the overall body was on the lighter side. This would be a good restaurant buy.

  Heavy on the dried fruits: prunes etc. Viscous. A little sweet.
