On day 1 it’s a bit overpowering with the 14.5% ABV, although there is something there. On day 2 it’s mellowed down and the grape shines through with red fruits and herbaceousness. Not unlike more modern Southern Rhone village wines I’ve tried.

Classic and classy although blind I might have guessed American; fruit is warm, tannins chewy, oak toasty. Drink by 2026.

Over the hill unfortunately. I don’t have a cellar so not optimal conditions but I wouldn’t sit on it if you have some.
