  Unfortunately badly corked. Poured down the drain.

  Red and black fruits on the nose. More red-fruited in the substance of the body than usual, dry finish.

  Red berries (raspberry, strawberry) and currant, plum, some rosemary/garrigue, just a hint of cedar. M acid, M body. This is doing well for such a cheap wine at 5 years old, I’ve had it about once a year since release and it’s shown some development. Great qpr and a great casual burger wine; we had it with Impossible burgers topped with alpine style cheese and a sweet onion confit spiced with rosemary and mustard…great pairing. 6.2/10

  Dry, medium-bodied red wine with a screw cap, opening to a nose of cherries, currant, blackberries, and black pepper. Deep burgundy tending toward opaque at center and ruby at the edges. Extraordinary balance of tannins and sweetness with some residual sugar. Presents itself as non-alcohol forward, with smoothly pleasant floral notes developing. Long finish consistent with opening notes of berries and black currant. Excellent table wine, surprisingly affordable. Enjoyed with filet mignon and baked potato. Wife says this is now her favorite wine. As an accompaniment to food I’m inclined to agree.

  A very nice bouquet - best of this wine, maybe due to Riedel glass. But taste is too sour, and nothing spectacular. Do not buy again.
