Best of 4 bottles consumed over 12 months, great value everyday CdR, this bottle showed notes of wild blueberry jam with some spiceness and backbone acidity to balance it, a wine that begs for food.

Just outstanding, and a total surprise. I opened this as a mid-week drinker, and was blown away, first by the light red, pinot like aroma, then by the balanced rhone blend taste, with wonderful syrah and grenache. The syrah, which I believe only constituted 20%, smacked of tar and blueberry.
Delicious.
5 on the AF scale.
