Black fruit, plums, a touch of liquorice and spice. The tannins are dominant on the palate, but quite forgiving with food. It's 15% a/v, but hides this quite well. It's good but somehow lacking some excitement.

I wanted to like this and I did, sort of. Nothing wrong with it but nothing good either. blackberry and dusting of pepper on the nose, touch of garrigue; minerality adds a bit of interest on the palate but.......brakes comes on sharply halfway through, tannins are there but no help, fruit just drops. Certainly a food wine but never really comes alive.

Decanted 2 hours. Ripe black fruits, but not over done at all. Rich and balanced mid-full palate. Nice.
