Certainly during at a peak of early to mid maturity. This is so refined, so satiny, so plush. Chocolate brownie, intense kirsch, touch of tree bark from the Mouvedre, herbs de Provence, bottle age complexity. Totally approachable, totally delicious,”. While not sublime, this scream class to me. It is very ripe, dicing with over-ripeness, but it is beautiful. The 15% is slightly hot, but doesn’t come as noticeably agressive.

What a treat coming from a bottle I paid peanuts for at auction. Really was punching above it's weight class! Was old world to the umpteenth power. Barn Yard, Funk, Pencil Shavings, and even some Lavender! Gorgeous!

Absolutely fantastic! Plenty of red an dark fruit, berry pie, cherry and enough oak and acidity to make this a well balanced drink.

Lovely wine with pleasant tannins still with concentrated fruit. The drinking window can be extended for several years I think.
