A lesser Cuvée from a quality producer. Vanilla Oak aromas initially after decanting which blew off to reveal savoury red fruits. Medium bodied with traces of bitterness. Very fine dusty tannins. Drinking well now. Went well with pork chops.

Cork good condition. Deep cherry color. Tight initial, opened up in glass. Bright deep/strong red fruit.
Nice wine. Easy drinking. Would be good with food (red pastas/meat pizzas/roasted foods)
