Dark ruby. Plenty of red fruits, including strawberry. Black plums. Warm baking spices, nutmeg, cinnamon. Plenty fresh acidity. Fair length. Good wine.

14%. Dark in color. Gamey, meaty, savoury notes over coffee/chocolate. Heavy bodied. Tannins soft, acid muted. The sweetness on the attack in my last bottle not apparent here. Still drinking well. Calls for something like pork shoulder or short ribs stew, or cassoulet. Very good.

Deep ruby. Nose of gingerbread, Xmas cake and black berries. Full & rich but without being cloying, plenty of freshening acidity. Good length. A huge range of flavours come and go. Some thyme, marjoram and other herbs like from the garrigue. Cocoa powder. Blackberries & blackcurrants. Fairly high alcohol but so much depth it carries it off. Highly pleasurable and interesting wine.

Medium bodied, can see through it. Nice reddish colour. Still drinking young. Just a touch of drying tannins . Sweet fruit on opening .... strawberry and raspberry jam-like, but not cloying. Some pepper and bitterness on the mid palate to finish. Not a long finish. But a very nice easy drinking, reasonably complex wine. Would buy again.
