Nose is really nice, with slightly weedy, bright cassis and dark berry fruit, loamy gravel, and sandalwood. On the palate the fruit hits first, but then it clenches a bit, relaxing toward the end by releasing savory notes that cling nicely. I like the overall balance, with fruit, some tannin in the mid palate, and pretty nice acids. It’s listed at only 13.8%, which I heartily applaud! And I got it dirt cheap from Garagiste.
