Quite dark, and dark fruited in the nose with a touch if spice and a slightly dusty, rustic air. Similar on palate, ripe and quite rounded fruit, dark and slightly spicy, round and with a positive finish. A little rustic but perfectly pleasant and a good match with Osso Bucco. Lacks the complexity and interest of say, Musar, but then it's half the price. Perfectly decent. **1/2

Color bright red. Nose dry and fruity. Taste at first rather light bordeaux style, later dominated by oak and vanila from barrels. Too much oak in my opinion. But there are nice fruits here too - and pencil tree. Aftertaste medium and OK if it wasn't for the over-oaky flavour. This wine is hardly worth the cost. It might be better in the future?

It's a very diferent kind of wine. Frutal and spice based. Moderate tanic, it surprise me.

Full, round and lush. Oak, vanilla and berries noted. Very nice bottle of wine.

Nice to taste a wine different from what I normally drink. Surprisingly good and went well with a very dominant dinner (roast duck).
