This wine was in a very soft, easy-going style. A bit less structured and simpler than is usual, in my opinion, from this very good producer.Dark ruby garnet. Scents of warm gravel and cherries. Soft, easygoing flavors of sandstone, bright cherry fruit, and steely minerals. Very soft texture and decent acidity. Ideal for red-sauced pasta dishes over the next year. B-. Imported by Margaux and Associates, I got this for about $18 at Spec's.
