If anybody wants to know what it means for a bottle of wine to be 'minty,' they should try this one. This was opened latish in the evening, and satisfied both the drinker who likes fruitier reds and the drinker who likes structured, tannic wines (and who thought this resembled a Saint-Emilion). This is certainly ready to drink now, but without urgency.

Jammy black fruits, black cherries and plums. Dried herbal character -- rosemary, oregano, underbrush and garrigue. Great integration of oak, beautiful firm tannins. very pleasurable bottle of wine

Getting into a nice drinking window.
Tannins softening, black acidity on finish, nicely balanced.

Very deep brick red
Cedar, graphite and black fruit aromas
Firm chewy tannins . Dark fruit with herbal notes
This is a food wine...cheese vastly enhances the effect
