Supple and rounded mouthfeel with a pronounced sour cherry flavor. Will try decanting next time.

Vin préféré d'Étienne. Très doux, tanins timides, fruité et un peu boisé.

Best to let breathe for a bit. Pomegranate and paint thinner in a good way. Dryish with a slightly sour finish. Great, reasonably priced wine.

So talk about having low expectations. My waiter at La Fenice in Toronto "moved" me from a $120 bottle to this $50 bottle of wine and WOW it was sensational. He said that back in the day this was the wine of choice at fine restaurants and was he ever right. This was AN INCREDIBLE selection
