Sunday, August 12, 2018 - Fourth or fifth bottle of a case purchase on release.
for whatever reason this bottle showed poorly compared to previous bottles from the same case.
The wine is still very drinkable with a solid core of red fruits and garrigue on the palate- however it lacked aromatic complexity, "zip" on the palate and the finish was medium at best.
I will chalk this up to an off bottle.
Also- I recently tasted 2007 Beaucastel and Pegau Reservee and they were both far superior to this bottle.
