Dark ruby turning garnet. Rich berry, cassis, milled teak wood, dried fruit, mushroom, tar and pencil lead nose. Full and assertive palate with muscular tannins, evolving, ripe berry flavours and supportive acidity; focused, drying finish. Needs food.
Discovered this wine in 2008 and praised it highly, but I did not record a tasting note. Bigger than I remember but the earthy clarity is still there. 4/5

Silky with tannic power, concentrated fruits and minty, spicy nose. Very very nice for 14 euros.
