Wow! Nothing like my other 5 bottles. Don't know if I got lucky or they all just needed 11 years. Nose of nearly an aged Porto, plums and cherry. Nicely balanced smooth mouthfeel with still some tannins making the finish medium and interesting. Flavours of aged Medoc honestly. A real surprise.

14/20 Bon cela ne renverse rien. Il y en a pour son argent à 13$C mais faut pas trop s'attendre à plus. Un brin rustique avec une belle générosité. Pourquoi pas ?

Not too familiar with this DO. Ruby with brick color. Nose is almost rioja-esque with fruits, tobacco. In the mouth, it's nothing special, it lacks balance and character.

Medium to dark ruby with some caramel hues
Lots of plums on the nose, very ripe
Medium tannins
Good fruit finish
Great for the price

Not quite sure if bottle was flawed, maybe it was stored too hot, but was completely out of balance, like vinegar aged in barrel. Really bad.
