decanted for about 30 minutes. On the nose cherries, raspberries and a bit of alcohol that is a bit distracting. On the palate this wine has a nice spice to it, with sour cherries and a tiny bit of blueberries. simple wine that was ok.

Out of the bottle the aroma of this Merlot/Cabernet blend is very fruity with cherry and strawberry dominating with some subtle green pepper as well. After about an hour in the decanter the fruit evolves to cherry, chocolate and plum. It has light/medium weight in the mouth with a round, soft feel, a hint on tannin and a nice acidic snap at the finish. It picks up lushness and mouth feel as it evolves in the decanter. This is a well made everyday table wine that will improve short term but it's probably not worth the cellar space. Good overall and very good at the table.

Clean and full flavored. Overall a sweet, bright international style bordering on Australian with a fair amount of oak. Has a nice toasty note and some dark weight with tar and earth. Correct and fresh, but not a style that excites me. C+/B--

Terreux, sous-bois. Bouche ample, ronde, longue. Très bien!

Très bien, délicat, fin, mais manque un peu d'expression dans le fruit.
