2011 vintage. High-toned cherry nose with hints of leather and freshly split oak. Starts with sweet dark plum fruit, medium+ tannin, decent acid.

2008 vintage. Sweet nose of fig and plum, with hint of tobacco. heavily oaked, though not in abad way. Bright acidity, dry, spicy and long finish. The more I drink, the more I like it. One of the best $10 wines I've tasted. 50% Garnacha and 50% Carignan.

Took a few hours to open properly, but acidity cut into some Sausage and White beans quite well.
