Pretty good for $14. Nose is a little smoky / cigar box, rich, almost porty fruit with a bit of raisininess. Lots of dark cracked stony notes. Rich and mouthfilling, it’s a bit low-acid but doesn’t skimp on flavor. Little bit of that telltale tacky texture I associate with 17s from the south of France. Solid weeknight wine.
