Critic Review: Inky. Intense and complex nose, fruity and spicy. Aromas of berries, garrigue, licorice, cinnamon, cloves. The palate is intense and fresh. Red fruits. Seductive and lingering finish.

My Review: Strong notes on the nose of plums and especially spices. Strong taste of spices and pepper with a slight hint of cinnamon, with a very dry finish. I can see myself drinking this wine with a steak.
