  Still on the young side because it took until the 2nd night to integrate all the flavor components, particularly the pronounced acidity. Dark fruit including plum and blackberry, noticeable tannins and bracing acidity which blended nicely overnight. Elegant body consistent with Colombo's style which avoided heavy and dark fruit excess. Some mourvedre-like dark, forestfloor blend of secondaries.

  6/1/2014 - Axone Does not like this wine: 86 Points

  Bof !
  Vin marqué par son élevage.
  Belle matière mais masquée par le boisé.
  Les amateurs de Bordeaux apprécieront.
  Les amateurs de Cornas, j'en suis moins sûr.

  Not bad for a modern styled wine. Oak is integrated and there is nice pepper on the palate. While a decent bottle not worth $70 in my opinion.
