It's only wine but I like it

I don't think that I have ever seen a Fitou at such a low price at the LCBO. The dark fruit is backed by notable herbs and notes of black pepper. Oak is non-existent (likely since it was not aged in oak), and decent complexity and length. $12.95? Really?? This might be the value of the year at Vintages. Really good wine! Tasted Aug 2021.
