Monday, August 8, 2011 - A bit muted on the first day but really opened up overnight. A joyful fruity nose of blackcurrants, smoothed over by a touch of lavender and thyme. Nice and mouthfilling, with dominant blackberry flavors, along with a touch of Provencal herbs and tobacco. Surprisingly long finish. Good balance between acidity, tannins and fruit. My only bottle, bought at the winery itself; wish I had more. Could probably last another 3-5 years but can't say if it would get better. Would pair with steak or lamb.
