Finally hit its stride. Drinking very nicely after a couple of hours of air. Not as good next day so I'd say this won't develop further.

The WS liked this:

Vintage 2020: "The attack shows a balance of taste between fruit and earthy flavors, with sweet cherry, violet and fresh prûne, draped with underlying notes of meat and game, white pepper and a salty, mineral touch on the tongue. Nicely constructed yet supple and amiable, it has character and charm. Drink now until 2024. »

... a bit more fanciful description. For me this was rather straightforward two dimensional wine with supple mouthfeel, rounded with no sharp edges, medium-full body and nice length.

Some oak, used barrels:

• Certified organic vines and wines since the 2016 vintage. • Ageing: 10 months in barrels over 10 years old. • Reduced sulphiting: 64 mg/l (allowed in organic farming: 100 mg/l). • Production: 20,290 bottles / 105 magnums

Very unusual for southern Rhone, I believe this is 100% Syrah.
