Aged for 12 months in oak. Concentrated black currant, plum, dark chocolate, vanilla, olive, garrigue, baking spice, oak. Not much acidity going on, alcohol is a little overpowering at 14%, tannins have grip. Long finish of bitter dark chocolate and lavender. Great wine, great value from a great region.
