with dinner:

Dark purple and black, with maroon edges. Threw a bit of sediment. Good, ripe aromas of raisin, violets and loam.

Medium body with good legs, the aromas stayed the same throughout the bottle.

Definite raisins and minerals with some green and flowers from some Cab Franc. Good finish, not great, but pretty smooth.

DBW points 87, not too much money, so a good grab off a wine list.
