Supple and lithe now with broad palate, after inviting nose. Opens quickly. couple of years left in this one. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like tobacco. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Decanted half an hour. Deep crimson color. Aromas of lavender, red berries, rose petals and garrigue, with heavy, meaty overtones. Nicely balanced, with red fruit, white pepper, spice and meat flavors on the palate. Finishes nicely, picking up a minerally/iron quality. Drink now-2013.

I continue to like this wine...good QPR. Some barnyard on the nose, but excellent fruit and is developing some complexity with bottle age.

Nice CDR. Drinking well. Not a complex wine, but enjoyable and easy to drink. Good dark fruits. Balanced with nice depth. Meat, some tobacco.
