Think its time to up this by a point. Just that I had a Pinot blend that doesn't match up to the balance this wine gives. Nice strong fruit, but great balance with tannin and acidity. Not a huge amount of life left, so start drinking and enjoy it.

Nice medium to light red colour. Straight out of the bottle, this was closed and extremely harsh on the nose and palate; particularly notice the acidity. After 30mins this opened up and turned into a very nice drink. Not a long term wine for aging, but was fairly impressed.

Occasional tasting group: France: Languedoc. (@ JdZ): A lot of spices and herbs in the bouquet. Juicy and spicy. Some lavas. When you close your eyes you can imagine yourself walking through a dry field of herbs on a hot summers day with a nice breeze. Elegant wine with pleasant acidity.

Another solid performance. Had this round the in-laws with pot roast beef for Sunday lunch. Yummy, it paired perfectly with the roast.
