  Very genuine Rhône feel, quite rustic, surprisingly, there is solid fruit behind, but it's dark fruit, and this must absolutely be served a bit chilled to preserve freshness, which is an issue here. Otherwise very local, garrigue galore. Will keep 5+ years no prob.

  Lush red and black fruit. Creamy palate supported by well measured acidity. This is one-dimensional, but who cares? Pleasant weekday wine.

  Good promising nose with complexity from mature berries and spices. Acid and tannins is in good balance but the fruit has lost to much freshness in my opinon. Shouldn’t be a problem for a 2016 Chateauneuf but it obviously is.

  No refinement here but works at least very well with food like gorgonzola sauce.
  To be cellared another 5+ years to soften a bit.
