sort of musty at first. discouraged, we let it sit for a few hours and when we came back it was wonderful. sweet red fruit, graphite, earth. alcohol was in check, oak well integrated. really nice acidity considering producer/southern rhone. impressed with this wine. my guess is it will drink well at least for the next 5 years

Tasted double blind - and I did not save my notes - originally guessed Burgundy given the very light color, lack of tannins or pepper - I thought "no way this is a rhone." This was an enjoyable, lighter to medium bodied CDP - a little one dimensional (tart red fruit) but enjoyable with nice structure. 90+/-

Beau nez, arome de cuir, tabac, pas de surchauffe! L'alcool est peu present! Lacidite bien balance!

Give this one at least 2 hours in the decanter or better, 6 hours in the bottle, gets very interesting after it opens up.
