A near perfect example of what a Provence ted can achieve. Picked this up at the vineyard site 3 years ago, loved it then love it now. Still strong and full with a smoky almost mesquite aroma, silky deep red and black fruits sitting on herbs and dark stones. 3011 vintage, at its probable peak although I wouldn’t be surprised it will get wvdn better over next 3 years,

Rich, dark fruity nose - very covered berries - black currants? Great promise in nose is not fulfilled in flavor. Flavor is same fruitiness, not as rich, and uniform without complexity. Drops off rapidly with short-lived cedar overtones. Pleasant wine for burgers.
