If this medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine were solely to be judged on its aromatics, it would merit a substantially higher score. Its deeply spicy, floral, perfumed, and coffee-infused nose is marvelous. This hedonistic, medium-to-full-bodied, silky-textured, and seductive offering is opulently packed with candied blueberries, cherries, and freshly cut flowers. It is brilliantly-crafted and has the fruit necessary for a higher rating but lacks the complexity and structure for greatness. (PR)

Rather reduced nose is quite ripe but is dominated by a meaty quality today. Lovely floral note on the attack, then sweet and silky, with bright acids and very good length. The tannins are more apparent here. Lacks the complexity of the best wines in this cellar but boasts excellent body and power for a village wine. (ST)

A crowd-pleaser. Racy yet seductive, with lots of plum, green olive, wet earth and cassis flavors. Fat and ripe, it displays a firm tannic structure and lots of fresh acidity on the lingering finish.
