Sports deep ruby/plum color to go with exotic notes of ripe black cherries, plums, white flowers and orange rind. Ripe, sexy and opulent on the palate, with a soft, seductive, forward style, drink now.

Not as lively as a year ago, but still delicious.

As recommended and supplied by our favorite restaurant. Paired with braised short rib, chicken, brussel sprouts. Opens quickly and has a long dry finish. Would drink again.

This is the bottle that made me think I had a future in wine. It was a lonely bottle found in the basement that ended up in a flash sale to make room for restocking. I saw a nearly 10 year old French wine with a $9 sticker on it & thought "Either it's gross or they don't know what they have...either way, MINE!" When first poured I was disappointed - no nose to speak of & sediment, grr. I decanted it and took a shower. MOTHER OF GOD...it's amazing what a little bit of air can do. My partner, who isn't much for red wine couldn't believe how fragrant & smooth it was. We managed to keep from gulping it & enjoyed t across 2 dinners. I tried to find a case & the only one was auctioned through Christies! Ha! Sometimes you get lucky & this wine literally changed my life.
