In the mood for something big and tannic, so this was an easy mark. Experience was virtually the same as last December, only this time I'm really noticing the wild blueberries, cassis, spice, forest floor, and crushed rock in the aromas and flavors. Bold and structured. Very nice. Great value play.

Aromas of dried cherry, floral, savory herb and earthy flavors and with a nice touch of gaminess. Crisp, bright and vivid, with a smooth finish. (Drink 2011-2015) - JD90
Color: 8.5/10 Aroma/Nose: 18/20 Structure: 18.5/20 Finish: 18.5/20 Overall Impression: 23/25 Delicious or X Factor 3.5/5

A lot of sunshine on the nose with garrigue. Somewhat forward right now, it needs quite some time. Not super structured but not jammy or overdone which is nice. Plenty of dark fruits intermixed with some strawberry. Would like to try again in 5 years.

Full bodied and a lot of black fruits, cherries, cassis. Firm amount of bitterness. Certainly an ok product, but no real finesse or complexity.
