Rule the Rhone; 10/27/2016-11/3/2016 (Northern & Southern Rhone): This was meant to be the most approachable and fruity and bright of the wines we were trying. In fact, it was my least favorite. I actually got more meat and olive. Very dusty and that in some ways dominated. Decent tannic backbone, but also drinkable now. Recommendation was to drink in another 5-15 years (esp since the 2010 was such a good year).
