Clay and juicy cassis. Black olive. Tannins taste like an old varnished bureau. This is the wine that made me love wine again — especially French wine — and motivated me to start systematically tasting and making notes. Then of course my liquor store stopped carrying it. I was delighted to find a bottle while traveling. Still a wonderful value and delicious,though age would improve it. 92 or … 93! — 3 months ago

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of ripe fruits with floral perfume and sweet earthy tones, Merlot dominant. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum fruits, with pepper spice notes. Rich fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and earthy spice character. Drink now! — 7 months ago
2018 surprisingly mature deep nose of cherry and spice good colour dark fruits, mellow tannins long finish quite surprised by my find at the local butchers for 18 £ — 3 years ago
Nice dark color.
NOSE: dense cassis, blackberry, a bit of chalky minerals, a little cedar and spice, also some graphite. Restrained, but yum.
TASTE: too young, but good. Cassis, minerals, raspberry leaf, tannins remind me of bitter olives. A little lighter than I expected, but really quite good. Would love to try again in a few years. 92.
