Tuesday, June 7, 2022 - Sight: moderate evolution, the core is still dark

Aromatic: Still plenty of sweet black/blue fruit intermingled with black olive tapenade, light roasted meats, lavender white pepper, and truffle

Palate: M+Body, M-Acid, M+Alc, Smooth T, Palate matches the nose with a nice blend of fruit and tertiary flavors. Finish is long

Yes this is a modern wine, without the true elegance of the northern Rhone, but the wine is aging well. The alc will start to show through more as it ages further, but a thought provoking wine at 16 years of age.

I think I will finish the bottle with a smile
