It is a mediocre CDP; OK but nothing special. Could have been better if fruit was more concentrated. The finish was a bit bitter. At this price point, Australian GSM can be a better alternative.

Nice easy drinking with some nice berry, tobacco and spice notes. Nothing memorable and not collectible. Ambivalence would be my rating but not going to waste it either…..

One ounce pour from machine in wine shop in Avignon. Very deep bright magenta color. Red plum, strawberry, and mocha. Dry, satiny palate. Firm, full, lower intensity tannins on the longish finish.

Very tight upon opening. Let this breathe for at least 1-2 hours. Still has quite a bit of fruit, medium-minus tannin/acid, polished, but almost zero complexity. The 15% alcohol shows itself pretty well. I'm not sure if further cellering will hurt or improve this wine. I'm somewhat uncertain about this...87 points.

Nicely balanced. Fruit and tannins nicely integrated. Maybe a little hot @ 15%. Long finish but lacks a little complexity for the price/reputation.
