A dark purple in the glass, aromas of blackberries, plums, and concrete. Fairly straightforward on the palate, a melange of blackberries, plums and some woodsy notes. Medium tannins that mesh nicely with the fruit flavors, just enough acid to keep it fresh. Fairly short finish. Reminiscent of many different CdR's and priced similarly.

Quite nice nose with a mixture of restrained dark berries and garrigue herbs. Cocoa powder too. decent palate if a touch dilute. Peppery but rather bland finish.

A year later, this wine is losing its youthful verve, without gaining much. Drink now, if you've some remaining.

France: 38 Wines from Kermit Lynch (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Soft and simple nose. Very nice richness of fruit on the palate; quite nice. Tannins build, but they're pretty soft. A simple wine, but yummy, with nice fruit on the finish.
