I did not want to buy this one. I was on a roll buying the D'Escurac and wanted two other French wines (stay tuned for those reviews). My wine merchant however recommended I try this one. He mentioned it to be a deep red, full bodied and smooth easy drinking. For me to spend a additional $15 for this bottle, I requested a price break (which he happily gave) on D'Escurac. This sure orked out well!

It turned out to be very good wine colored a ruby red with tinge garnet. It was fruity and had hints of blueberry and cherries. It was very comforting to open it and drink. Interestingly though, I opened and had it one evening and then replaced the cork and put in the fridge. The next day it was even better. I should have decanted and aired it at least an hour before drinking on the first day. The third day it was the wine stayed beautiful and quite warm in the mouth with excellent balance and strong finish.

Recommended to drink this wine throughout the meal and especially pairs well with cheeses.

Buy Factor: For $15, it is definitely worth it.
