"Very good drink, lovely forest floor red berries nose, very dark dense colour, in the mouth prunes licorice dark cherries, a lot of length, this did seem quite young despite its vintage, but one bottle and the fact it is sold out doesn't give me the chance to find out if age would improve it, recommend, if I can find elsewhere, good value for the quality.

This is good. Big black fruited wine. Nose is ripe with black fruits, menthol even a hint of smoky blackcurrant. Nice expressive nose. Flavour is a bit more youthful with a hint of bitterness on the finish still. Bold black fruited flavour, subtle liquorice, and a touch of sweet fruit which lifts it. Excellent wine. Good depth and intensity with lushness but also a bit of tannin.nose is the best element at this point. Keep a couple of years. This could be special. Like Beaucastel in style.

Disappointed by this bottle, ok red fruits but it tasted just a touch stewed which was a distraction.

Good cassis laden wine. Ripe and good fruit intensity.

Bright red fruits. Good intensity. Drunk with Christmas dinner and it held up well though not the main point of attention.
