Whoa. Never heard of this producer. Thought this was fantastic! It has a savory nose but fruit forward palate without being rich. Smoked and charcoal driven with dark fruits (blackberries, plum). Lighter on the palate...tannic and pepper driven but is a constant battle of bacon fat and herbs against baked mixed berry pie and dark cocoa. My understanding is this producer is no longer around. Shame.

2010 WOW !!! This was mind blowing. Was not expecting this to be as great as it is. Right out of the bottle after being perfectly cellared for the last few years. Perfectly balanced, fruit is right there but not overpowering. Wonderful nose.
