Medium cherry-red. Dark, oak-inflected aromas – slightly spicy. Ripe and tasty, velvet texture from slightly drying tannins. The flavours are as dark as the nose but they are lovely in the mid-palate before the very decent finish.

Medium colour. Like the Grèves, this is an interesting blend of barrel and fruit notes – you look forward to the next sniff – yet it doesn’t seem to show any different character. Also plenty of tannin in this wine, but it seems ripe enough so will eventually fade from view. Good as it is, other than the colour I found not enough differentiation between this and their Grèves.
