Nose freshly open jar of Bonne Maman Strawberry jam. This tasting was over a 90 minute period. Initial front, middle & end were: Rose, eucalyptus & oak. BUT after 60 minutes; Rose blossomed to be more Blueberry, middle increases in herbaceous anise, white pepper and finish delivers lengthy leather tannins with slight hint of oak post.
Rock star after decanting and serving temp of 16C ...also needs a fatty meat or creamy cheese serving.

Absolutely stunning. It’s a tantalizing blend of ripe, velvety plums, dark cherries, espresso, dark chocolate and well balanced spices. Anise, hints of cloves, white pepper and peppercorn. Perfectly balanced with a long lasting lip smacking finish

Brilliant, fruit-filled nose upon opening (but sadly, it diminished over time). Still exhibited nice body and integrated structure (more than the Canucks did while I was watching game and drinking wine).

Very good wine. Easy to drink. Tasted like Bordeaux. Great with food. I was impressed.

2014 vintage, had an herbaceous, some remaining fruit with well balanced Tannins and a peppery finish.
