Un nez aromatique, assez riche, tabac, fruits noirs, roses et mures. La bouche est délicieuse, riche sans être lourde, vive, beaucoup d’énergie, très belle texture de tannins qui sont encore bien présents tout en étant fort approchables. Belle finale assez longue et délicieuse. J’ai bien aimé. 92-93
Nice expressive nose of tobacco, roses, dark fruits. The palate is delicious, rich without heaviness, energetic and pure, nice texture of the silky tannins, good length and gorgeous finish.

Somewhat muted nose after 4 hour decant. Great fruit and acidity. Somewhat drying on finish. Needs more time. Too tight.

May 5th, 2016The next time a rainy Saturday afternoon comes around and I reach into the wine fridge for a good table wine I'll probably be better about checking out that random bottle of table wine before I open it....this clearly is not swill....yum! Here's to a good Saturday afternoon
