Immediately on pouring, the nose is a little closed but very nice, with strong plum and strawberry elements. The body is on the light side in the glass, but on entry this is smooth and well integrated, with very fine tannins and a moderate finish. I'd say this is ready to drink, should hold up fine for five years but probably not be enhanced by age.

Dark Ruby red. Nose is beautiful with hints of minerals, berries. Palate is fresh, slight acidity, some tar. Finish Med-long with nice hints of tobacco. Delicious

Nose of cherry, anise, and earth. Palate has dark chocolate, black cherry, garrigue, and lots of peppery notes. Plush tannins balanced with plum, clay, and red fruit layers. Tasting great.

Nose is dark fruit, soil, some black pepper. Good concentrated fruit on the palate that is excellently balanced with the body and brooding ness of the wine, maybe some tar.
The more you sip on it the more the frui notes come out.

Congruent, very well balanced a complete wine but missing a special something? Integrated fruit tannins and acid. Overall a solid good wine
