  PnD let air for 1hr.
  
  Consistent with previous note should have taken my own advice to get more. Love Garrigue on the nose. Punches above the Appellation - it’s about the producer.

  Great bang for your buck here. Nose is bold, plenty of blueberry and some plum. Very fruit forward and mouth coating, dark fruit is everywhere and a hint of pepper on a long finish. Great with a meal, I paired with a steak risotto and it was outstanding.

  Such a great wine for the price. Could almost pass for a CNdP. Lovely ruby-purple color. Arguably a bit over-extracted, but 3 hours in a decanter reveals just a whiff of barnyard, flavors of berry and cherry, and a bit of leather and tobacco.

  PnD let air for 90mins. Needs the air to show well and flesh out some of what I suspect is some whole cluster fermentation primary notes.
  
  Clear medium ruby.
  
  Clean. Medium(+) intensity with aroma of black cherry iodine incense lavender licorice tar blood black pepper and blackberry.
  
  Dry. Medium acidity. Medium(+) tannin. Medium alcohol. Medium body. Medium(+) intensity with flavours of black cherry black berry blood black pepper and garrigue.
  
  Medium(+) finish. Very good. Drink now suitable for furthering ageing. I think there is a high proportion of Syrah given the blood and black peppr notes. Awesome complexity on the nose. Great balance and finish. WS missed on this one. great recommendation from Marquis. Like a baby CNdP. Going to get some more.

  The 2016 Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Rogue Reserve is loaded with spice, plum, black cherry liqueur and garrigue. This impressive effort shows excellent mid-palate depth and concentration, and is endowed with a finish that maintains rich fruit and dark chocolate flavors. A delicious Cotes du Rhone at an attractive price point.
