PnP and waited for a few minutes before sampling. Did not keep detailed notes. Quite good. One of us felt that notes of aging were creeping into the wine. Dried red fruits. A bit of heat on the palate.

PnP and let sit for a couple of minutes before sampling. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, vanilla, some garrigue. Flavors of dark purple fruit, chocolate, vanilla. Some savory notes. There is some black pepper heat and tannin in the finish leaving warmth and a somewhat mouth drying finish. About 15 minutes later, continuing to drink with dinner of grilled chicken, risotto and a tossed salad. The food is bringing out the chocolate, vanilla and black pepper flavors a bit more. Through dinner and afterwards the chocolate and vanilla were a bit too prominent for my taste.

PnP about 15 minutes before dinner and sampled while cooking dinner. Color is purple-red, fading through deep ruby red to a hint of orange at the edge. A bit of wood initially that faded within a couple of minutes. Aromas of dark cherry, black cherry and garrigue. On the palate there are dark red fruits, black cherry, bright acid, a hint of tannin and a little bit of heat leaving a mouthwatering finish. Drinking with and after dinner of baked salmon with herbs and bread crumbs, French, green lentils, Brie tarts with cherries, and a salad. A deliciously small bottle.
