A bit sweet vanilla and oak aroma. Black currant, cherry. Leather. Drinkable from initial, but a bit spicy and acidic. 1 hour is ok, but 2 hours, quite smooth. Now is ok to drink. A bit dry is feature of it. Nice wine! 2013 @11638, HROKA JH, 230128-230909 — 8 months ago

Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark ruby color with a bright red rim. Aromas of ripe red fruit, new oak, smoke and a hint of mint. More dark fruit on the palate with hints of grilled toast, tobacco, dark chocolate and baking spices. Quite earthy/stony on the extremely long finish. Nicely layered and well balanced.

Nose of sour cherry, black currant, tar, a bit of meat juice, some green pepper bell touches and black pepper. The palate is very savory, a good acid drive, yet not very fully felt as it comes with a good width, some cherry and currant touches, a saline, meaty touch, a spherical mid palate that powers up a nice and savory finish with meat juice, cherry and currant and that tiny salty touch. About 10 eur in a (very well sourced) supermarket here in Arès, Gironde. Great stuff and super value — 2 months ago
