At an upscale hotel in Busan with a buffet featuring mainly seafood however the wife wanted some red wine so we picked this off the menu. Served slightly cool which I liked. Fruity with some notes of spice once it started to warm up. Was surprised to find that it went well with the food (an assortment of sashimi, snow crab, and eventually red meat).

Had the 1996. Storage conditions questionable. But still drinkable. Very brown. Cork was a goner had to use coffee filter. No fruit left. All tertiary (mushrooms, fresh turned earth, forest floor, etc) but very drinkable. Had with multiple courses of Korean food.

My first vin de pays. Can’t believe they managed to make wine in the Northern Rhone and sell it in Bc, Canada for 18$. Solid fruit. Not much tannin but Medium plus acids. Great food wine.
