Decanted 2 hrs, then rebottled until next night. This bottle has a wonderful nose of bright red fruits, perfume (cab franc?) and some candied fruit as well. On the palate its medium intense plums, red raspberry tart, and a bit of minerality. Finishes quickly with strong acidity and tannins. Not a bad effort, but can't decide if it needs time or just air...

Kind of earthy nose, funky acidity, very astringent tannins, coarse, strange fruits, nothing integrated, nothing more to write About it. It is a 2005 vintage. I don t know if it will age well or not. Price is right though.

Very tight wine. Didn't open up much over 4 hours, some primary black fruit and light earth flavors. put rest back in bottle for 2 more days, still tight, tannic and not much secondary characteristics. Not sure if it's in a dumb phase but I'll wait 5 years or so before opening another.

Light in fruit, color and body, the red fruits are sweet, spicy and fresh, but the wine does not have the depth for further aging. Drink up.
