Label screams classy French wine. Color is deep maroon with a purple core. Smells like fruit leather made of cherry and plums. Also fancy soap. Flavors are silky and juicy. Cherry with a bit of mocha and licorice. Cola too. Nice tannins. A bit of a warming effect on the tongue. This is elegant southern French red that I’d love to see aged a bit more to see what the softened style was like. But overall it’s lovely bottle that would impress your Rhône pals.

Nov 30th, 2025Fancy heavy bottle. Dark as night color. Smells like cherry juice and moss. Maybe some extracted oils. Flavors are very savory. Oily. French as French gets. Smoke. Olives. Peat. This is dramatic stuff. Maybe needed more aging. Tannins are strong. But it’s got plenty of character.
