Interesting! Two days ago the wine seemed tired, slightly stewed at a tasting. All gone today, comes in with plenty of vibrant red fruit, garrigue, some crushed rocks. Medium bodied, good acid, pleasant mouthfeel, touch of tannins on the finish. One doesn't eat the sediment, but there was plenty in the bottle (really bitter:).

I had my expectations about this being over the hill but I was wrong. Almost fully developed nose with bruised strawberry, dried cherry, decaying leaves, dried garrigue herbs, smoked meat, tar and forest floor.
Really smooth on the palate where tannins are completely melted down. Medium(+) body and medium acidity. Decent intensity of flavors and no hollow parts through out the finish. Solid wine at €12. Drink now.

On a cold evening, this was a very nice wine with a beautiful onion soup.

A nice Cotes du Rhone that went well with spicy Chinese.
