Nose is a 5 and it drinks like a 3. Profound orange rind and stewed plum and liquid vanilla along with oversweet rotting fruit on the nose. Barnyard and port and cooking sherry and Guinness on the palate. Heavy sediment. Minimal tannins. Smooth on the tongue and dry. First few seconds of the pour look orange with a rust ring in the glass - and full glass ultimately a dense deoxygenated blood red with signet rust ring at the edges.

Pretty awesome for the price. Clean fruit style, mostly red, no barnyard. Fine palate adding with provincial spices. Lacking concentration of higher bottlings but perfect mid week wine.
On the nose- Bright red fruit, cherries, raspberries, red flowers, garrigue, leather, some earth, black pepper, dried herbs
On the palate- Bright red fruit like cherries and raspberries, some red flowers with a hint of garrigue and leather, some earth tones and black pepper and dried herbs, the tannins are pretty tight but work well with the fruit, on the finish there is some good acid holiding everything together and this wine is drinking well now on PNP its pretty tight and I think it could use a 30min decant or longer to open up and could cellar for 5-7 more years easy and at this price point would be a no brainer to buy again at this price point

Open and let breathe for 30 to 60 minutes. Nice red fruit flavors and a decent wine. Great value.
