Color Burgundy red with brown tinges, on the medium to lighter side. Appetizing smell: tart and grignotte cherries, good substance. On the palate it has good weight and is well balanced. Fully developed now. Alas, this was my last bottle

Tasting note from memory: Wine was more delicate and refined than what I seemed to remember. Pronounced cherry smell and taste; good acidity but nicely evolved and everything well integrated. fuller than the Durant Ava Lucia drunk just before it. 2 different schools of winemaking Pleasant experience .

To mark the occasion of my 1500th review I decided to pop open a fully mature O-noir and see how it was doing. In a word - "GREAT". A nice balance of fruit, mature tannins and savory with both notes of cherry, red raspberries and plums, as well as a savory wrapper gently holding it all together. This bottle went faaaaaaast with hardly a second glass for anyone around the table. Nicely done, drinking peak, enjoy!!

Opened bottle for 45 minutes. Deep dark red full body wine. Nice nose followed by big blackberry fruit with a hint of cherry. Medium long finish. A very nice bottle of wine!

Good but not great, the wine might be past its peak. Deep dark red medium full body wine. Limited nose followed by blackberry fruit that seemed a little "burned". OK finish.
