In a wine fair offering in France I sadly bought 2 bottles of this. A little under 20 Euro so I anticipated a little better. Sharp, astringent, poor nose, bitter in the background. Just basically poor. I'll be generous and suggest it might have been better in it's youth but this is a sad offering.

Early drinking, medium bodied, soft, wine with a core of black cherries, licorice and oak.

Nez, sur les fruits cuits, griotte kirshé après quelques heures.
En bouche fruits noirs, leger vanillé, longueur correct mais sans plus, fermé et encore un peu tannique, attendre. Pas convainquant à ce stade.

A bit middle-of-the-road; dark-fruited, and so primary right now, not showing everything that I suspect it has. 89-90.
