This could be an excellent Christmas wine. Deep colour. Aroma of berries, herbs and, after a while in the glass, leather. Raspberry/blackberry coulis on the palate, with a more savoury, complex fanning out and a touch of acidity peaking out at the end. This should develop some extra complexity over the next year or two, but is already very satisfying, especially for the price (£13 on release).

2007 France Trip - Cheze, Faury, Ferraton, Coursodon (Northern Rhone): Tasted 2 barrel samples. The first had a touch of barnyard on the nose, and well-concentrated smoky violets, soy, meat, and oak. The second was more aromatically open, showing grippy, smoky black fruits. This wine looks to have good concentration and structure and is promising at this stage.
