A forgotten cellar surprise. Quite pleased how much we enjoyed this bottle with its gentle integrated tannins, subtle black cherry fruit leaning to a hint of pomegranate, earthy forest floor with a finish that dissipated a little too quickly on the palate but lingered nicely in the sinuses. Many happy returns meal of coq au vin was a great match.

Drank this one far too late. Showed potential, though, especially in body.
