Beautiful wine today. Completely mature. Syrah dominant on the palate once it opens - plenty of flavor intensity but not in a jammy, extracted way, more in a classic northern Rhone style. Very light on its feet. Quite a lot in common with a Chave Offerus, now that I think of it.

Savory out of the bottle, with strong mineral notes. A bit soupy but in a pleasant sort of way, underlain with berry. Too corny, but a note of herbs de provence. 50/5/10/15/6

- Garnet color with medium forming legs. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of blackberry and cherry with a light/medium body. Bright texture with a medium finish.

The nose shows wild berries in a buttery bakery crust that, reminds me of a confectionary tart, but not quite as sweet. A whiff of wild herbs added depth on the nose. On the palate, I found vibrant cherry and raspberry fruit. It was juicy but ultimately not much more than an enjoyable quaff. The finish dried out before the close with lip smacking remnants of raspberry and citrus.

Very smooth, balanced( fruit, tannins & mineral aspects) Provence red. Slight strawberry hint?

Nice nose of fruit, licorice and funk. Moderate in body with easy tannins and good acidity. Enjoyed.
