This wine finished 3d in the overall evaluation and for me it was the second by slightest one point better than Beaumont. It had quite juicy nose with lots of ripe fruits mainly cherries and cassis. Same characteristics were repeated in the taste and also it was rounder in the taste mainly given the age of the wine.
