Darkly colored with a thin clear rim; very ripe dark red fruit, black cherry with violets; fairly stern and four square palate with flavors in tune with the nose with some nice spice tones added in. While not terribly complex, a pretty large and substantial village wine. Very good.

Defective cork but not affecting the wine. Evolved, very elegant, balnced, complex but still with a raspberry presence. Interesting hint of truffles and fungi, mineral. Medium to long finish. Very good!

Bottle wasn't flawed or defective .... there was just nothing there .... no nose, no finish, no taste ... absolutely flat .... putting it aside for cooking.

This bottle showed a little bit more piquant acid than the previous one but it was still pretty rich, deep and succulent for a village wine. Don't know that this is going to improve beyond where it is now but it seems like it would at least maintain this position for a few more years. One of the better village wines going.

Dark and rich, forest floor, red fruit, a little bit of toasty oak. Good balance. Not overly complex. Drinking well now.
