  Spectacular after about 30 minutes of air. Plum, deep strawberry, and a bit of dark chocolate on the nose. Similar profile on the palate with addition of some orange zest, dried thyme, perhaps a titch of oregano, and chocolate covered raspberries. Light in color, and relatively light on the palate. This should coast along for many more years, but delightful today for sure.

  Very good. Nor much to add to my previous note, other than to say it is it a great place right now. Time to enjoy this. No need to wait.

  A very nice S Rhone that can compete with CNDP. Big body Gigondas at its best. Dark purple with garnet edge. Lots on the nose: sweet red and black fruit (raspberry and black plum) some green pepper notes along with licorice and then secondary vanilla and chocolate from the oak. On the palette is medium + intensity, raspberry and black plum again and a pretty long finish. The complex nose and length make this worth the price of entry - just! Palette feel like it may however be at or just over it’s peak. A nice package if you like your taste is for a strong bold Rhone. Not subtle, but rich and enjoyable. 90% Grenache and a splurge of 10% Syrah!
