After 2-hour decant: wonderfully balanced ensemble. blackberry, plum, hint of leather and tar, with perfect acidity, and fine-ground tannins with moderately long finish of the same. Second day tannins are further attenuated. Perfect for cassoulet.

Very ripe, almost raisony but with some structure underneath. I agree that this lacks the tension of this producer's Atl Sia which I believe carries a higher percentage of carignan.

Now rather round and soft. Enjoyable but lacking tension.

This seemed to be tighter and consequently more enjoyable than I experienced last year. Good value.
