  Waited too long on this. A bit fizzy back wash

  Medium ruby. VA on nose, ripe red and black fruits. Full bodied, sweet, almost jammy. Acidity there but a little out of balance.

  More classic Rhône in this bottle. Perhaps the extra year did the trick. Deeper briars fruit anda little smokiness. Central tannin and border acidity provides structure, balance and length. An update: I sealed the bottle for a day and it had degraded noticeably. Tones of oxidation were evident which is surprising. Drink in one evening.

  Fairly dark red. Smoked meat, herbs, blackberry and earth in a really intense beautiful nose. Delicious medium weight dry flavours and a great perfectly balanced finish.
  
  Really great wine. So enjoyable. If this was a Pegau from a great vintage I would give it a 95, but how can I give a simple Rasteau from a mediocre vintage a score like that.
  
  I must have an illiterate palate.
