Forgot to open the bottle ahead of time and it was literally pop and pour. Gorgeous aromas of dark fruit that included some strawberry and raspberry notes, and a bit of chocolate. Fairly juicy, and framed with a bit of alcoholic smell (which took a much longer time to fade), some pepper notes and wood, good acidity, and very very smooth tannins and rather delightful to drink. Consumed with stronger flavored fish (tuna, salmon) with soy notes, which interestingly made the wine a bit sweeter. Don't recall tasting much Northern Rhone wines, but this was very delightful. Supposedly 85% Grenache, 15% Syrah

Modern style CDP, which is not a bad thing necessarily (though I prefer the more traditional). Cherry nose with lots of minerals. Medium body.

Rhone Tasting (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Pretty feminine styling.
