This isn't my preference. Carignan gone bad. Too much 'gentleman perfume' on the nose. Too little tannins and stuffing on the palate.
Definitely not for us…

Färg: som en klassiskt transparent PN. Nos: Huh! Drar åt den äckliga Rucché-druvan, med galet mycket herrparfym, bergamott och ovanliga örter. Paletten: Saknar tanniner, ryggrad och finess.
Gissade på södra Italien och sa: "Inte en chans att detta är ett franskt vin!"
Sen kan man ju alltid fundera över om Ardèche och egentligen hela området runt Lyon (inkl Bojo) är så vidare värst franskt. Iaf om man med det menar någonting mer än rent geografiskt. Hah!

Last of three. and perhaps the loveliest. Definitely a southern Rhone but delightfully scented and none of the stewed, jammy or heavy notes that can mar many of the better S Rhones. Good value too.

Deep ruby to cherry. Initially a lovely sweet, fragrant lifted nose dominated by the Grenache, filling and darkening with air as the Grenache come in. Smooth, rounded, quite deeply flavoured. Dark fruit and some spice. Excellent for what it is. ***

Decently punchy/spicy and held up well to a veggie curry dish. Remainder the next day was superb. Lovely asian spice notes, silky and broad in the mouth. Some church pews & dustiness, red fruit. Really lovely.

Needed a little air but drinking well. Soulful and complex with a savoury finish, if a bit short. A spicy, spiky finish too, keeping it fresh.
