Very good with a lot of depth. Notes of cherry followed by gunpowder. The color is a nice rubis,a rich red. The bottle was from 2009, the perfect time to open it.

Tart raspberries, just ripe blackberry, green herbs. Shows a bit of brett and VA but doesn't distract too much; charming and rustic

Fresh garden veggies, brambly blackberries, and garden soil. Not very special, but perfectly enjoyable.
