  Showing its age with a little bricking around the edges, but there seems to be little if any loss in quality from the last time I opened a bottle four years ago. This is a rich, full-bodied wine featuring a creamy core of plum and blackberry with a note of baking spice. The tannins, once a little rough around the edges, have resolved nicely. Still a number of years left.

  Garnet stone color. Cherry and earth aromas. Clean entry. Dark cherry, garrigue and earth. This was solid with a beef roast, but didn't blow me away compared to other vintages. Ready to drink. 89

  Fresh, sweet berries at the open then olive and herbs. And then a slug of heat which got a less noticeable as time went on.

  Medium ruby garnet colored
  Ripe kirsch aromas and flavors, balanced but with a punch of alcohol.
  I’d choose to serve this a tad cool.
  Lovely drinking now
