"From old vines, this wine has fine concentration and rich black fruits. Its richness is balanced by juicy black currant freshness and acidity. From a chateau based on the plain towards the Dordogne river has produced a wine that will is ready now."
- Wine Enthusiast

Lovely aromas of black ripe fruits, with also hints of spice and cigar box in the background. Smooth, charming, and elegant attack with notes of black berries and black fruits enhanced by a light touch of vanilla.

ABV: 13.5%

Value

Rates with good Zinfandel

Good Value Barbera

This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.

Just right

Drinking really nicely at 5 years and a fair price

Cotes du Rhone.

A lovely well balanced red. One of the best Cotes du Rhone I have tasted.

Real value for money

I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
