  March 18, 2015 - This bottle was definitely worse than the rest. Just not worth drinking. May be at the end of the window.

  April 30, 2014 - Dark ruby red. Very discrete nose at first, with air develops aromas of back fruits, cloves, and lavender.
  Very smooth with velevety tannins. Shows ripe blackberries and wild raspberries, some backcurrants. Still very fresh.
  Very dry and well balanced, the wines remains round with ripe fruits.
  This is a no brainer for the price and will purchase it again.
  Better than some Châteauneuf for a fraction of the price.
