PnPnV - muted nose, not much going on in the mouth either, a bit of sour cherries, red berries, and light oak. Not unpleasant, just seems to have fallen off over the last year. Seems like a lot of fining and filtering here - texture very glycerine-like, light-medium bodied, tannins well integrated (unlike notes from 2011). Finish very short. Finish these up soon. Paired this well-balanced fading bottle with roasted chicken and sweet potatoes.

Good black fruit, strong notes of pepper on the palate. Good mouth feel, relatively smooth. Consumed over two nights, and went a bit flabby the second night.

Earth, spice and pepper. A great southern rhone styled wine. Complex, but near the end of its peak.

The fruit has started to fade on this, but there is still some nice spice.
