Opens up easy and nice - red fruit(cranberry, strawberry, sour cherry), some dry spice, oak almost nondetectable. Hard to speak of minerality, wouldn't that far. Palate is disappointing - too thin, dry and harsh tannins. Nice acidity though. Short. Too much alcohol for the body.
All in all, great everyday stuff - don't ask for more, don't age it.
Have fun with it now!

Weekly tasting group RWP #246: 4 x 3 ( Bordeaux/Rhône/New World) (@ RW): The bouquet is not so very expressive. On the palate red fruits acidity and buttermilk, a touch of sweetness as well. Easy going and supple wine.

Robust example of a C-d-R, needed the time to balance itself, would have been good for another 2 years.

Full bodied 'new world' style CdR that's not quite as good as it thinks it is.

Really full-bodied CdR, still needs more time; after 5 years!
