very good classic pepper and provencal herb on the nose with matching palate but with cherry fruit and a grapefruit like acidity that cleanses at the end and begs for another sip perfect weeknight wine.

For vintage this is actually quite good. There was mild funk and a leafy greenness on the nose that turned more like mint or garrique. On the palate cherries and then pepper. For a syrah it seems like ChNP more than a northern rhone but I do feel it speaks of the region and is pretty satisfying…had with grilled salmon and veg on a cold night and it went very well

Very dark purple; Stinky, meaty, Black Currant, fades quickly; pleasant tannins but a strong accent on the acid, slight bitterness; not very convincing, to much acid for me.

This one had some initial funk that blew off very quickly after some air. Full bodied and still tannic enough to warrant running it through the Vinturi. Wide range of flavors. Very complex with Woody, mushroom and earth on the nose. Black fruit and spice on the palate. Long finish shows all the flavors combined with tar. Really interesting! Drink now-2018.
