Very dark pure red. Smokey, black pepper, blackberry, slightly gamey nose. Medium body, dry extract and a lemony acidity, then a chalky finish are the structural elements. Flavours is fresh dark berry fruit, so this should live a long time, yet.

Vinturied into decant and consumed over several hours, A restrained wine, this is very similar to a Coronas from the most southern part of the northern Rhône valley. Just slightly riper and more approachable near turn. It was still evolving at the end of the evening, and would have probably gotten even better! 92++ Absolutely stunning with food, balance between the fruit and acid is on spot. No real sign of age. Drink now with decant, thru 2025

Dark. Meaty, ripe. Balanced to the structured side. Very enjoyable with dinner.

Ripe, rubber boot, dark berries. High acid. Great with aged beef.

Smooth, aromatic, fine body. Now at a good spot, needs just a little air to show well.
