A fairly typical Old World Languedoc in presentation, but without any real flair and a bit of an emptiness on the finish. Balanced and not bad, but not worth the price.

Decanted. Initial tasting - long legs, purple/red color. Pepper on the nose with slight sense of strawberry jam. Very strong tannins on the palate.
After two hours, the wine opened up. The fruit became more noticeable on the nose - blackberry or strawberry jam, equalling the pepper. The tannins mellowed out a bit, but the wine is still tannic...slightly bitter on the palate. Solid body, nice medium finish. We enjoyed this wine, right quality for the price.

goed glas wijn, niet heel opmerkelijk, prettig drinkbaar, kwam wat vermoeid over, niet meer zo strak
