Had a bottle 8 or 9 months ago and gave it a score of 90, mostly for its almost explosive fruit on the palate. This one was almost dead and on life support. Could be bottle variation, or it could have rather suddenly blown by its drink-by date. Probably time to drink up.

This wine really punches above its weight. Very shy nose and no "Rhoney" characteristics (minerals, pepper, garrigue, etc.). On the palate, however, the black and blue fruits seemed to explode in my mouth, leading to a bodacious finish for a wine in this price range. Delicious and holding up just fine.
