Tasting notes
A sleeper of the vintage, which enjoys essentially the same winemaking team as Clinet, this wine exhibits a dark plum color in addition to open-knit aromas of black cherries, plums, cedar, herbs, coffee, and vanilla. Round, delicious, and easy to understand and consume, this sexy, medium-bodied 1997 should drink well for 6-7 years.

Very good deep ruby-red color. Black raspberry, black cherry and earth nose shows an element of surmaturite that reminded me of syrah. Supple, sweet and stuffed with fruit, but I don't yet find much structure or grip.
