May 3, 2020 - Waited too long! Tart cherry, some berries
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like black currant (cassis). The body is medium. The wine has flabby texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity. -

March 8, 2013 - Intensely drying tannins when first opened, but rounded out remarkably well with air/bottle time. Earthy, dark fruit, grilled meat, leather and dark chocolate. Best day 2.

January 8, 2013 - Strong tannic aromas of apple skin and blackberries with wood. The palate is quite tight but fruity enough to keep some sweetness in the mouth. More life in this yet and I think it will improve, although it is already more interesting than a good few similar priced Rhone wines.

February 28, 2011 - Quite tannic day 1, but better with a run through the Vinturi and some time in the glass, and more approachable day 2. Nice Rhone wine, still needs some time to integrate.
