2011 vintage. Very ripe blackberry and bramble fruits with just a touch of garigue and brush terroir notes - this wine tastes very "old world" and is a fantastic value. There is a bit of oak here, but only enough to keep everything else balanced.

Very easy to drink, but not too much to it. Simple, not too exciting

Enjoyed this at Vina Mundi's wine and chocolate pairing. Tiramisu truffle...very nice. A nice summer red for me.
