With 2 bottles of this 1999 Rhone Blend, I reached out t to the Winery through the website recently and to my pleasant surprise, I received the following reply within a couple hours from the owner/winemaker! (I will try the wine soon and re-post the results... excited with anticipation!)
Bonjour! this wine is a blend of Syrah grenache and Mourvèdre. It is unoaked. Made by my family in the southern Rhône Valley not far for the towns of NÎMES and AVIGNON. 20 years old might be a little too much for a simple and easy drinking Rhône blend. But you should try. I recently got a bottle of 1998 and it was magical. All my best, Franck-Lin Dalle Owner/ wine maker

I have had this bottle for too many years to be a fair review. However, it was drinkable for my teenage daughter and her friend. Having turned to a tea like color, it was a sweet apple that still had bubbly qualities. Needed to drink in recommended timeframe, don’t just dump an old bottle, you may still be able to enjoy!
