Very Good++ Popped this open last minute to have with dinner, a bake of roasted tomatoes, eggplant, cheeses, herbs, breadcrumbs, etc. and it was a nice call. I really liked this. One thing I did not get was any black pepper! This is somewhat nervy, great clarity, vibrant crunch red fruits, reminded me at times of concrete-raised Grenache with some spice and kirsch. Lovely.

a pleasing, lighter-bodied red....more the weight of a pinot noir than Cabernet Sauvignon.....fairly expressive nose, good balance, enough tannin to frame the wine, but the structure is not overwhelming. A pepper taste was present but not dominant. A nice "drink young' quaff.

Very promising but still a little sweet-tart disjointed. Give it 2-3 years in cellar and try again.
