Deep garnet red with a ruby hue. Layered nose with minerality, red berries, anise, minerals and cocoa. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus hody. Great acidity with black raspberries, dark cocoa, minerality and cassis. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2024.

Cherries and black fruits. Chalky and a little peppery spice. Not as bold as I thought it'd be.

Here it is, April 2020 and the 2010 vintage is delicious. Still nice tannins.

Lovely wine. Black fruit on the tongue with spice on the finish. Cardamom and cassis with a bit of pepper. Could easily cellar for three to five years more.
