Starts with rubbery, flat berry aromas but rounds out with air. It’s tight and rocking with tannins as dark fruit flavors take control. Shows weight and darkness on the finish. Grenache, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Smacky and hard right away, with compact black cherry aromas. Shows lots of gusto in the mouth but no elegance or touch. Tastes short and condensed, a blah mix of red berry and burnt candy.
