Deep ruby red. Very perfumey on the nose with both red and blue berries. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Starts off with some woody elements before opening up with some dark berries and a little bit of heat. A slight vegetal bite in the strong attack but thinning finish. Nice and dry but odd metallic note in finish too. Drink till 2021.

2009 Maquis Viola. 90% Carmenere, 10% Cab Franc. Phenolic ripeness + freshness (moderate alcohol and acid/tannin balance) = good
