Fun wine to drink. Still on the youthful side and certainly velvety and medium bodied. Cherry, plum and blackberry fruit spectrum with red licorice, earth, and tree bark. A little light on the garrigue for my taste, and it falls just a tiny bit short of the complexity I was hoping for, but it's a very well-made wine that is drinking beautifully right now. Nothing to have to go and seek out, but if you can get this (as I did) on closeout for $20-$30, it's a good value and good food wine. On a sidenote, this is the last vintage with the old label. Starting with 2001, VJ went with the updated, current label.
