Retailer tasting (Le Bouchon): Dark fruits, spiciness and minerals in the bouquet. Same on the palate. A firm amount of sweetness, but nicely balanced by the acidity. Mild tannin. Nice wine. Early maturity now. 88 - 89+

Not as "Syrahish" as a northern rhone typically is. Medium body and finish. Light dark fruits. Pleasant and food friendly even though the restaurant markup was 3x.

Dark ruby. Strong legs. Medium intensity developing nose, dark fruit, blackberry, meat. Medium acidity, medium tannin, quite light body, smooth, blackberry on palate, meaty. Medium alcohol, medium finish. Lovely actually. Enjoyed. Should buy case, would like to see with more age.
