Oct 21st, 2018Ruby in color with medium intensity and a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of cherries, strawberries, red currants, oak, smoke, vegetables, vanilla, earth, forest floor, green pepper, peppercorn, leather, mashroooms, spices and herbs.
Medium bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, vanilla, green vegetables, bell pepper, forest floor, spices, river rocks, earth, graphite, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Medium finish with medium tannins and bitter almonds.
This is a nice everyday red wine from France. A little disappointing, though. Not fully balanced with a watery mouthfeel. A tad bitter for my taste.
Good right out of the bottle, but an additional year in the bottle will be a good idea. Better with food than just by itself. I paired it with a pear salad with goat cheese and grilled chicken.
14% alcohol by volume.

Blackberry, blackberry leaf, followed up with a whiff of slightly confected red currant plus vegetable notes. Medium bodied red and black fruit palate (more red than black) with some bay leaf and a clean finish. Drinking nicely. Lots going on for a budget price point.

Jul 8th, 2018Bargain buy - surprisingly flavorful with a smooth finish - who can argue with this as a weeknight pairing to lamb chops?
