V13. Yeah big, recommend decanting for 60 minutes, but anything less won't be a disappointment. Nice boot leather bouquet. Young , wild, deep, tar fruit with a slight pleasant touch of green vegetable. Nice tanins. Nice , fun today, great tomorrow.

It's good. Pairing it with mimolette French cheese, rare roast beef and a baguette. Deep cherry. Fruity. I'm running out of things to say, I drink too much wine.

Purple Violet glass with a translucent scarlet Violet rim. Medium nose of blackberry, tobacco, vanilla, blueberry, loam, and smoke. On the palate, the sharp young tannins charge in with a nice acidic tartness of the berries, cherry, and a hint of pomegranate. Tannins drive a nice long finish where tartness meets a little chocolate. This wine is fair value now at $19.98 but should be fantastic 3 years from now. Still great now with steak or rich food.
