Easy going ! Blackberry and currant on the nose. A touch of a minty spice as well. Very nice. The palate is well balanced with a strong acid backbone along which a nice fruit plays its part: red fruits for the most part but there are pinches of spices and vanilla. No harsh tannins at all : at best a small kick. A short finish with fruits again. Playful red with a rich, fruity roundness that makes it a perfect apéro red. Quite surprising when reading the comments on here about previous vintages !

Ridiculously good wine coming out of Lebanon these days. Can't wait to share this as part of Le metro's middle eastern collection, in April.

Not even sure how to describe this wine. It's a Cab-based blend unlike any I've had recently. Very soft tannins and nearly perfect oak integration. A fun wine to bring to your geek hangout.

Super tasty. Very drinkable. Smells of bright fruit. Tart blackberry, acidic bite but finishes quite dry. Would love to have again.

NOSE: berries! Blueberries, blackberries, a little cherry and cranberry. Refined - like actual fresh berries, not jam or jelly. Spices - a little white pepper. Leaves, but not old leaves, just barely dry, still crisp and clean.
TASTE: a little smoke and tobacco, dense blackberry, a little calendula, a little cocoa and coffee on the finish. Tasty and smooth - a dash of rustic flavors with a refined impression! 90.
