Very youthful purple color despite being six years old. Lots of blackberry and dark berry fruit, some herbs, licorice, hints of dark chocolate. Fully bodied and rich with a ton of potential. Had I realized how youthful it is, I would have held off for a few more years. Have one bottle left and will give it at least 4-5 more years. I can see the score improving a point or two with age.

Ripe red and dark berry fruit, spices, smoke, cured meat on the nose. On the palate rustic tannins, good acidity, good ripeness of fruit. Medium length. 87-89

Monthly Tasting Group EEE #063; Saint Chinian (@ MG): In the bouquet blueberry yoghurt, bell pepper and vanilla. On the palate juicy red and dark berries. Good acidity and tannin.
