A good, surprisingly easy drinking French Red. The blend makes this a little lighter then most - but still quite enjoyable at a great price point. Classic old world French red, just not as heavy on the earth notes at the end of the sip.

Colour: Dark ruby red but still quite transclucent which looks like a thin body. Medium legs which looks quite thick.
Smell: plums,chocolate,oak,tobacco,a lot of dark black fruits with a slight cherry flavour. A little almond in the background and the smell is almost reminiscent of a wet woody forest floor as if it has just rained.
Taste: smoke, oak, little fruit flavour with medium finish. Low acidity with high to medium tannins that remind me of skin on sable grapes. Very flat finish with nothing much to offer at the end. Sad :(
