Dark cherries with a rich, deep nose. Similar palate with powerful dark fruit and plush. Initially, it was short and I could still taste tannins but a couple of hours in the decanter fixed it. The 15% alcohol is well integrated but it may start to be thinning out so I would advise to drink up and serve slightly cool.

Still dark fruit ash and feral. Richaud style, you have comfort food and comfort wine, this is comfort wine for me. Needs some time to open up, but this is really nice. Approachable now and will last for years. Although other tasters described this as tannic I did not notice any disturbing drying tannin.

Deep garnet almost black with no sign of age. Fruity nose with hint of acetone, wet stone, smoke and some spiciness very appealing. Ripe red fruit flavour, tannins very well integrated with a long dry and slightly bitter finish. Very nice indeed and a great deal more refined than I expected. I need to find some more.
Perfect match with partridge with roasted vegetable.

One of the best GSM wines I have drunk recently. Stunning fruits, vibrating acidity plus these lovely "meaty" hints. Classic!
