While the wine possessed a beautiful, deep ruby color, the nose was immediately off-putting. It had a medicinal quality, funky, and was remnicient of aged balsamic vinegar and burnt rubber. In the mouth, the wine tried to be serious and gave away very little as to fruit characteristics. It was rustic, almost austere with a dry, lingering finish. It intrigued me nevertheless as I had expected it to evolve further.

I attended the King of Rhone on the 23rd October and found the wine to have a nose redolent of wet earth, leather, pine and mushrooms. It is a serious wine with a long future ahead.

A lovely bottle of wine that is perfectly aged so that fruit and alcohol pair seamlessly. On the nose, intense black cherries, dark plum and smokey cedar. Very rich, round and sweet in the mouth with a lingering, staining finish. I am so fortunate to have a few bottles left. Excellent effort.
