Really like this one. Nice bouquet, warm and toasty on the palette, nice warm finish. Tannins ease off with some air. Great value for this bottle - better than more $$ priorats IMO.

6/7/2022 * Not quite sure what the praise is all about. Pleasant violet nose. Some dark fruit and slight minerality covered up by the tannins. Became softer with time But all in all this one was a very generic effort to me. * * 12/29/2022 & 12/30/2022 * Note : * * After consuming the 2nd of my 3 bottles, I like the bouquet more than the hot tannic lifeless palate . The high 15% alcohol was more pronounced on day 2 creating a disjointed hodgepodge with a short finish. More time in the cellar will not remedy the imbalance. Modest price . No plans to re-stock.
A little more than a year since last trying this wine. Medium ruby color. A complex bouquet with notes of raspberry, dark plum, cured meat, minerality, pie crust and dried herbs. Lush satin texture, medium bodied, with bright red and black fruit on the palate and a frame of firm, sinewy tannins.

Constantly over-delivers for the price point. Concentrated and brawny, but with enough acidity to keep it from being too heavy.
