Lovely, complex, southern Rhône nose of blackberry, plum, and peppery spice mingling with garrigue, lavender, purple fruit, and some meaty notes. Smoky mineral notes develop with time in the glass. It's medium-full bodied on the palate with ripe, elegant tannins that have a touch of grip. Acids are fresh and juicy, while the flavours are more red fruited and a touch candied on the flavour profile with raspberry, spice, and meaty flavours which linger through to the long, meaty and smoky mineral finish. Recommended buy to enjoy over the next 5-6 years. Tasted June/2020.

Spot-on CdR Villages. Plummy ripe fruit, some meaty notes, black pepper and herbs. A bit chewy, with a lingering finish, Can't do much better than this for $17. BBQ wine, cool night wine, when-i'm-pissed off-with-work wine. Any occasion wine, this will pick you up. Tasted Sep 2021.
