I agree with my previous note from some time back - truly has a mini-CdP profile going on. Nice richness, but strong on the acidity as well. Tiny bit of prune on the nose, but still fresh on the palate.

Loads of garrigue and black cherries on the nose - the age of these Grenache vines is evident. Nice complexity on the palate - more dark berries, cassis, well-layered, good tannic structure, and a pleasant finish.

nose: really good nose filled with garrigue, black cherries, pepper, and a good amount of dark red fruits. Real nice depth and complexity that is really attractive
taste: excellent medium feel with good tannins and delicious tones of garrigue, black cherries and dark red fruits
overall: an excellent cotes du rhone. Really Good depth for a CdR with well balanced flavors and aromas

Consistently excellent bottles, a mini CNdP, delivering way above its level.
