A very pleasant surprise! Dark ruby red with a fragrant earthiness that's almost ethereal. Medium-to-full bodied on the palate with flavors of cassis, blackberry, and a hint of spice. Pairs well with braised lamb and squab. I thought it would be a let down compared to the 2004 Sixtine Reserve, but it wasn't. Drink from 2006 to 2016.

Now fully mature this wine shows great CDP typicity with red fruit, olive, and mushroom flavors. Round, full bodied, and seamless this wine has a 25 second finish.

Drinking very very well now. Super smooth and chock full of fruit but with the structure to handle accompanying rich foods.
