Cloudy. More white than orange. Complex nose with a hint of funk. Very high acidity. Very natural in style, almost verging on cider-like, but very good nonetheless.

Mesmerising. Buttered popcorn on the nose. Rich and voluptuous on the palate, balanced by a pronounced seam of acidity. The oak still adds some structure but it is now well integrated nearly 8 years on. A long finish, with generous fruit (peach and pomelo) and a slight hint of pleasing bitterness. Absolutely ready to drink but with lots of potential still. One of the best wines I’ve had for a while.

Good, but I was expecting more somehow. Complexity from a bit of bottle age but I was hoping for a little more depth and finesse based on others’ reviews and tasting other cuvées from the domaine. Still a very competent Cote du Rhone. Hid its 15% well enough but struggled to match the beef cheeks for intensity.
