Sensational. I think this is very near its peak. Dark soft fruit, powerful, beautifully balanced, soft tannins, no rough edges in sight. This is so well knitted together, a real classy bottle and great value. One of the best southern Rhone's i have tasted.

I don't know why I passed over these for other older or beefier CdRs in the cellar but this was really excellent - not a showstopper perhaps, but delicious. Good balance of dark and red fruit with enough acid to stand against cotechino & lentils. Not going to get any better so will drink up through rest of 2020.
