Black fruits, almost plum, on the nose. Aromas of a perfumed shoulder, a pretty barnyard girl who works hard but always manages to smell beguiling. Thinner on the palate than I hoped, but a delight.

Accidently opened but a nice surprise. Still very young. Stewed fruits, leather and tobacco.

Had this wine a lot and its always good but not great. Starting to enter a good drinking phase. Cigar box and liquorice were coming through nicely. Served with coffee glazed short ribs and pomme puree.
