Fruity nose with flint and wax, well-balanced palate with violets, cassis, licorice and leather. Supple, approachable tannins. None of the metallic, earthy character that often is too pronounced in southern rhone reds. Excellent!

Opened and decanted two hours in advance. Deep ruby color with a poweful nose of berries and violets. Strong, well-balanced structure on the palate with violets and strawberries. Strong tannins on the finish.

Bright red color, fruity nose, well-balanced on the palate with strawberries and a distinctive hint of candied flowers
