Nose is a bit shy out of the gate, but shows a bit of ripe cassis and a slight herbal note. On the palate it’s nicely concentrated, with dark berry/cassis fruit and a subtle garrigue-like earthiness. A fair amount of tannin is present, but it’s soft and doesn’t intrude. Very nice balance. Reminds me a bit of my memory of the 1981 version of Chateau Vignelaure I used to sell back in the day. It’s mostly some old vine Cabernet, with a bit of Syrah and Cinsault.
