Clear deep purple with big staining legs; clean medium plus nose of cassis, barnyard, leather and garrigue; dry; high acidity; medium plus grippy tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of sour cherries and cocoa; long finish; drink now or in a few years; great value wine - punches above its price point

Clear deep ruby; clean medium plus nose of barnyard, cassis and garrigue; dry; high acidity; medium tannins; high alcohol; medium body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of cocoa; medium plus finish; drink now or in a few years; blinded as a meh southern Rhone GSM; a little disappointing - not as intense or complex as the 2016 - or perhaps an off bottle?
