  Decanted for an hour and was lovely. Id give it longer if I had the chance.

  Spicy, energetic CdP, shows cherry, boysenberry and a slight “sweet-tart” flavor. A classic style ripe and structured, balancing fruit and minerals, excellent.

  Initially marked by medicinal herbs and cassis in aroma and on first taste after uncorking. It opened up two hours after decanting.
  
  Clear ruby in appearance with pronounced aromas of cassis, red cherry and some oak. The flavours were bright, distinct and rich. I tasted cassis, garrigue and red cherry, along with tertiary notes of mild spices and leather. It has a medium-long finish defined by a lingering trace of cinnamon.
  
  The wine is medium+ bodied with smooth tannin, medium acidity and good balance. It paired well with charcuterie for me. Should go well with most classic meal dishes.
  
  While I consider this a good wine, I agree with the other community reviewers who felt that it kind of underperformed. On balance, given its price point and the reputation of the producer, the wine was kind of underwhelming if I were to hold it to its standard.

  Medium ruby red color. Red fruit. Somewhat disappointing
