A touch curious as it started quite light and delicate. Lacking some classic southern Rhône stuffing. Perhaps a bit too cool from the cellar. As evening progressed it fleshed out gaining complexity and flavor. In all, quite nice yet uncharacteristic.

Pnp. Very dark color with lots of stuffing and sediment. Upon entry stewed nose with plums and overripe cooked dark fruit flavors. 14,5 Alcohol level already indicates this isn’t going into history as a delicate and refined southern Rhône wine. Palate confirms suspicions. I’m afraid this cooked style is far away from what I look for in a decent glass of red Rhône. Pity.

Actually meant to have more time between the 12/18 first bottle and this second one -- but, my sense is that this is worth tracking down to find more -- a bit higher score to reflect that it is worth finding --

paired well with the meal, looking forward to the 2nd bottle for a comparison over time

A bit shy? A bit too serious at the moment? However it didn't blossom; let's wait and taste again.
