You cannot argue with the lovely, juicy dark plum and wild strawberry nose of the 2010 L’Estel, which is clean and well-defined. The medium-bodied palate exhibits chewy dark red berry fruit with just a hint of chocolate towards the lively, unpretentious, sandalwood-tinged finish. Where else can you buy a $14.00 wine made from vines planted in 1915? Absolutely delicious! Drink now-2017.
