Appearance: Bright and clear, with medium (+) intensity garnet colour, paler rims and legs Nose: Clean, with medium intensity and developing aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cloves, leather, meaty, oak and cream. Palate: Dry, with medium (+) acidity and medium tannin, soft and fine-grained. Medium in alcohol and body, with medium intensity flavors of blackberry, plum, oak, cloves, prune and cereal. Medium in length. Conclusion: Acceptable quality St-Emilion garage wine with a reasonable intensity and complexity, the wine shows an elegant structure with integrated tannin, though a bit thin and acidic, but still ending with a reasonable length. Ready to drink now and not intend for further ageing.

Slightly past fully mature, this medium bodied, earthy, spicy, kirsch oriented wine is soft in texture and has a nice, round, cherry finish. Drink up.
