Very nice nose of dark fruit and a lightly integrated smoky wood. Entry is rich, opens up mid mouth very savoury with sweet fruit. A Quite rich spice comes on early and then a really nice cherry skin finish. Tannins integrated well with the spicy dark fruit finish predominating. Anyone will like this. Easy drinking with a sweet and deep profile with enough complexity to please.

A fairly fresh nose with a touch of well balanced wood. Entry is savoury and tastyt; builds round to a fairly complex finish with dark chocolate, anise, tobacco. Tannins fine with a bit of black pepper coming late,. This is well done. Needs some time to integrate.

Ten St.Joseph and a couple of Cornas - blind tasting: (Tasted blind) Again an onion note to the wine! Also vegetal and some pickle juice, noticeable accidity, as well as vanilla on the finish. (B/B+)

Reminds me quite a lot of a Rasa wine, but with rougher tannins.
Polished, silky mouthfeel. Ripe blueberries, low acidity.
I'm sure this will appeal to many, but I missed the energy and acidity that I love in N Rhone syrahs.
