Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 7, 2015 - A standout wine for me in a N. Rhone tasting. Ripe red and black fruits on the nose with a big whiff of herbs and vegetation that I assume comes from stem inclusion. All of this creates a lot of aromatic complexity, both fruity and savory. Very structured on the palate with great acidity and a firm but enjoyable texture. The red and black fruits are present, as is the herbal streak. A bit of the syrah meaty/olive not is tucked in the background, but promises to become more pronounced as the wine sheds baby fat and the structure integrates over time. Highly recommended and a wine that will continue to improve for at least a decade.
