Alain Jaume Lirac "Clos de Sixte" 2005

[Thraz]

What a wine. $25 in a store in Toledo, although I have since seen it on the internet for less than $20.

Dark red, very expressive, less in fruit (some dark fruit there), more in leather and smoke, with a fine finish, all very well balanced. Great now, probably great later too. Excellent value, will buy more. I think it would stand its own against many CdPs.
