A few months bottle age have lifted this a bit more I think. Robust fruit with some body, and went very well with paella. Good supporting crisp acidity.

Quite elegant for a S Rhone white. Restrained fruit, flowers, and a nice slightly bitter finish. A little overshadowed by white fish in a tomato sauce with stir fried veg. Probably better with paella the next day. Don't serve too cold.

First bottle opened for a few years....it has evolved a lot from the big inky red of its youth....definitely a lot of tertiary notes now...plus some brett I think initially. Blood, iron and earthy notes but overlain still by a sometimes elusive raspberry fruit. Colour is noticeably lighter, still some tannin there though.
Definitely a food wine, and went well with a rare bavette steak. It took time to evolve, and drank well a couple of nights later too.
