Lively berries and vanilla up front with some unexpectednoaky finishing notes of spice and jam enjoyed with friends. Fruit forward but complex enough. Good with friends over our homemade duck confit. Lovely French dining party :)

Exactly what you expect from a high quality Cotes du Rhone Villages: intense dark fruit, spicy and meaty Mourvedre flavors, soft tannins, medium acidity, and well-balanced alcohol (only 13.5 abv according to label). A fruit-forward crowd-pleaser but with class and elegance. Good now +5 years. - 90 points

Well balanced and integrated, with a silky smooth texture. Dark berry fruit, spice, and charcuterie. Hint of licorice on the finish.

Consistent with previous rating. A solid 90ish pointer. A lot of sediment at the bottom of the bottle…not a negative point, just saying.
