This attractive, soft, round, fruity, medium-bodied 2012 offers copious aromas of black currants intermixed with hints of licorice and roasted herbs. It is ideal for drinking over the next 4-6 years.

This small estate can offer good value, but the 2011 is a superficial, one-dimensional, fruity, early maturing wine with adequate color and richness. While pleasant, it is hardly worth making a special effort to find.

This wine is finely structured with the red berry and black plum fruit flavors leading to a central core of tannins. There is good juiciness as well, the whole ensemble promising good medium-term aging. The second wine of Chateau du Glana. ——R.V.(6/1/2011)—— 89
