This opens with a gorgeous floral/garrigue aroma, followed by a rich blackberry / black currant palate that's slightly sweet. The acid is moderate, the tannins mellowed out by this point. Lovely inner mouth perfume. Long finish.

Mature, with lots of mellow tobacco and old leather notes, but the core of fruit is still young and supple, full of fresh strawberries. Medium-long finish, with resolved tannins and subtle acidity. Very tasty.

An aroma of stewed plums leads to a fresher light berry palate, with a modest finish. This is a perfectly well-constructed wine, but it feels constructed, the kind of wine you drink and think: this tastes like the Amazon Basics of wine. Satisfactory, but not interesting.
