This wine was really a surprise. I bought it not knowing anything about the wine. Things got interesting once I read the back label of the wine. A blend of three interesting Rhone vineyards. I decanted the wine for about 2 hours and it got really good at hour 3 or 4. Quite a bit of wood and fruit on the nose. Not over ripe. But also the wood did not make for a harsh finish. It was a little chalky, but very smooth which made thus wine really stand out in my mind. There is some acidity here, but not a ton. I think this wine can cellar for a couple of more years, but I don't think that it will last that long in mine.
