    A wine for friends par excellence. It was a hit at a men's barbecue. To be drunk slightly chilled, it reveals very fine, silky tannins and very pleasant red/black fruit. Excellent value for money.

    As so often, the advice is good and there's very little chance of going wrong. I'd recommend it.

    A red that's easy to recognize once you've tasted it. Notes of red fruit and tannins, power yet softness. Very good with meat or a chocolate dessert.

    Top quality-price ratio. A nose of spices and black fruit. Delicate on the palate, with a slightly peppery finish.

    Excellent wine! I've ordered it several times already. For an aperitif or a dinner party, it's always matched!
