September 7, 2017 - Opened my eurocave and once again the sliding doors of the lowest compartment blew out leaving a slew of northern rhones at my feet.
This bottle caught my eye and was poured into a decanter via an aerator 30 minutes prior to dinner of chicken parmigiana.
Ruby purple to the rim in the glass.
Nose is slightly wild and gamy but balanced by a lovely floral character and a pleasant bitterness that keeps things from being uncomplicated. Alcohol seems way more prominent than the 13% indicated which detracts somewhat.
On the palate there is muted black fruit and flowers and kalamata olives with a really nice acidity which cut through it all.
Love it.1,679 views
