"Petite Fleur rouge 2013 is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot, partially barrel-aged for a year. The wood is highly integrated, leaving no trace of woody aromas in this fruity nose of black plums and cherries. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rather fine, juicy and lifted by a lovely freshness." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker) A new-world wine with a decidedly Bordeaux style!

Very powerful, concentrated and astringent. Remains tight even 3 hours after opening. I don't really see the point of this wine.
