Color a medium garnet. The nose was initially dominated by barnyard/brett, but after an hour of air, plus pouring through an aerator, the mustiness was gone. Medium in body, with flavors and tannins well integrated. No flavors really stand out, but a solid, mature Provençal red.

It smells like cinnamon, cherry, fig, green olive, alcohol/hot and raisin. The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle.

Agree w/prior mention of 'medicinal'. Bottle was beyond normal rusticity and time isn't going to help these elements IMO. Time open over a few days didn't help matters. Don't believe it to be flawed.

Not well balanced. Thick fruit and flabby. Guess I waited too long to drink it.

Dark, soft and typically Provençal. Perennially a good value. Tasted over two days, better the first.
