Beautiful cherry color. Ripe red fruit nose on the upper rim, with some herbs and garrigue. And wow. Fruit explosion on the palate, with more ripe red fruits, baking spices, and medium tannins. A slight meaty note, but the fruit dominates nicely. This is a wine with personality.

Had the 2018 in August of 2021. Was an okay wine. Needed to sit a bit and open up. Dark fruits on the tongue but some harsh bitter notes on the nose. Not sure I would reach for this one again.
