Definite meat and cowhide from the carignan, and fruit from the grenache. Not as fruity, with some blackberry. Medium to higher tannins. Older wine, so left open an hour, and it kept improving.

Sep 28th, 2018Lovely complex nose of toasted nut, cocoa, lavender, and plum. Taste of fennel, white peppercorn, and ripe fruits. Slightly dry, but overall balanced. Understated wine that will not knock your socks off, but good on its own.
