  Rating: 86/100
  
  Pleasant, easy-drinking light to medium bodied red.
  Correct and pleasant but very little character or fruit.
  According to the Famille Perrin company's website this wine has a "beautiful deep ruby colour with purple undertones" - which is true enough. It then goes on to speak about the "intensity of red fruit, raspberry jam, spices and blackpepper."
  The cellar must have forgotten to bottle these qualities into the example I purchased.
  There is nothing intense about this wine: pleasant but instantly forgettable.
  Another prestigious winemaker resting on their laurels.
