Not sure this wine has been given a fair shake here. I can find no fault with it. It is concentrated, shows good acid and grip, and a nice mouthfeel. Nice pepper and minerality. It drinks better than many CdRs that score 86-88 points; it's more focused and balanced. Very enjoyable.

Was really disappointed with this. 1st it had a fake cork and in the 10yrs of drinking wine I'm not sure if i've had 1 wine that I enjoyed with a fake cork. On the nose it was all raw meat and fake raspberries. On the palate it was fizzy and in a secondary fermentation i'm assuming. After 2 days in the bottle it mildly improved but was also pruny. Bummer

Nez de poivre noir, d'olive noire, de mûre, de réglisse et de fumée. En bouche, les tanins sont assez réglissés. Pas mauvais, mais mon genre puisqu'il manque de finesse.
