This was in our annual mystery wine allocation from Antica Terra. Classic Rhone nose, very youthful when we opened it. Very long finish. Cork and wine in great shape. Lots of sediment (should have decanted).

Occasional tasting group: "Terroir or bottles with a story" (@ TBa): Lovage and organic smells in the bouquet. Not really inviting. In the mouth it was much better. Full bodied and a lot of substance. Good balance between acidity and sweetness. Eucalyptus. Difficult; the bouquet gave the impression the wine was getting too old, but in the mouth it certainly was lively. Not really harmonious, but an really a pleasant wine.
