Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar)56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years.
My Review: This wine had a nose of blueberry. The tongue was tart and dry. I probably wouldn't have this wine by itself as a result, but I would have it with food. 
With Food: No
