Rich and ripe red cherry aromas and flavors, firm yet ripe tannic structure, very nice length, this has improved — a lot — since my last bottle, medium-long finish, very fine Lirac!!

Rich, ripe darkfruits, soft tannins, seems close to ready to drink, at least for this bottle (I have more), I prefer the “regular” 2014 Lirac to this.

Wine list said 2013, but the 2014 was really excellent. Tough to keep a printed list current, with distributors to deal with.

Delicious, well balanced red. Not too much tanin and not too much fruit.
