Lush and rich with cherry and saddle leather notes prominent. A bit flabby on the finish, but an easy drinking and interesting crowd pleaser.

E Proven itself vintage after vintage. Get on the Corse bandwagon NOW if you haven't already.

Very nervy and bright fruits, yet has an old style core of iron, earth, tobacco, leather.

I've been on a Corsican kick lately, and this was one of the more refined red examples. Lithe; on the drier side; well structured and smooth tannins; dark fruit, but not too heady; herbs d'provence. Really enjoyed this.

Enjoying this great wine on a great day with my wife on her birthday. Rich dark fruit with an incredibly long finish

Corsica keeps on delivering great wines. This little gem drinks like a northern Rhone, with black pepper and olives, and lean, with a nice interplay between acid and tannic grip. The fruit is black, with hints of charred pepper steak and soy. Fuck. Yes.
