Smelled a little reductive at first, but after a swirl or two gave way to red fruits and flowers. This is a fun one. So fresh and juicy with the grenache doing a lot of the heavy lifting. There is a savoriness that keeps it interesting on the finish. Could see this being chilled down.

Lighthearted on the nose, especially compared to the Cornas tasted prior. Black and blue fruits with an undercurrent of thyme and licorice. Beautiful acid on this keeps the palate lifted. More red fruited on the palate as well with freshly picked dark cherries.

Tastes black. Black fruits, figs, tar, leather. Pleasing acidity and a lasting bitterness on the finish.
