  This was drinking incredibly. Rich and classic. Everything you want out of a wine. Did not need decanting

  Gentle raspberry on the nose with greenery. Soft fruits in the palate, well balanced sweetness and acidity. Smooth tannins.

  The wine was still young. However, it was good enough to enjoy now. The balance was great. The nose was quite energetic with blue fruits, graphite, cocoa, and cedar. On the palate, a hint of sweetness helped me to enjoy this wine at this young stage. The body was not too complex, but it had a fairly good lasting. Drink now or enjoy it 5 years later.

  Decanted for 90 minutes prior to tastiing.
  Deep ruby color;meaty nose.
  Concentrated, layered and complex. Profound black fruit, with spice tones of rosemary, thyme and sage: essentially “garrigue”.
  The flavor profile is round and encompassing of the entire range of the palate. Soft and silky tannins, This one is drinking well right now, but I’m confident it could go for at least another 10 to 12 years. Bravo! This is a great success.
