Light to medium garnet colour. Very earthy, with red fruit, red cherry and cranberry notes. Notable acidity, and the tannin is coarse. But the wine has real character, and good persistence. Old school and rustic, yes, but in a positive, down-to-earth kind of way. And the doctor says, drink two glasses of this wine per day and you will grow serious hair on your chest… I admit it, I liked it!

Sure it's not the unsulphured model, but I really am surprised by the fulgent, near aneasthetic property on the gums -- like menthol, nearly -- and the overall lift of citric acid. And don't even go there, asking if Stephane adds any! Unh unh. Aronia, cranberry, border tart, soft fuzzy tannins. This baby rocks, and is so not marked by the vintage.

Delicious if you like them "old school." Lots of earthy flavors, muted fruit, tons of acidity. Love it!

Light color, but certainly not light in the flavor department. Thick and smoothe, with bright cherry and gobs of earthy flavors.
