From memory. Very dark reddish purple. Modest fruity nose, flavors of sweet dark fruit but the palate was surprisingly mild and soft, perhaps just fully finished tannins, clean and somewhat modern.

Cellared since purchase, it took only about ten minutes to blow the stink off and present itself. Cherry, neither sweet nor sour, and a bit of cranberry made this, with a bit of acidity but no harsh tannins, a very enjoyable accompaniment to pot roast with potatoes and carrots. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Le vin est presque noir. Nez puissant et presque rebutant. En bouche, c’est une brute indomptable. Pas été capable de terminer un seul verre, ce qui est dommage. J’aurais dû le laisser en cave encore une dizaine d’années…

Night one: tart, cranberry notes. Good texture. Not a whole lot of there there, but somehow a not dissatisfying Garagiste purchase, even if I wouldn't likely re-up.

Tannins have softened, but the fruit is holding up. OK as a rustic, casual weekday wine. No particular reason to search out or buy again.
