First of a half dozen bought on release. Decanted for an hour, threw a lot of sediment. Nice surprise here, one of those petit Chateau that has turned into a good QPR. Cassis, cedar, cherry, spice and a bit of earth. Mostly resolved tannins, medium body and nice balance. Taco night with friends, nice showing.

This is a great wine for the $19 I payed, and had aged beautifully. It’s not an elegant wine by any means, but one with richness, complexity and finish I wouldn’t expect at this price range. It should age fine for another 3-5 years.

Drinking well. PnP and drunk with grilled kielbasa. Resolved tannin. Plenty of fruit and some secondary flavors.
