A rougher profiled cdr, dark black fruit profile with what tastes like a jumbled mess of blackberry, dark cherry, pine and black licorice. No real garringue characteristics to speak of, tough tannins and a very clipped finish. Hope it finds a way to get better with time.

Very deeply coloured; Intense youthful nose of licorice tinged black berried fruits and spice, some medicinal Provence herbs too - very impressive for a CdR, almost Vacqueyras like. Dense and powerful; very weighty and dense on the palate though not overblown just really intense and concentrated with good freshness - quite youthful, this could go on for many years yet. Reasonable length - at the top of the tree at this level.

Youthful purple colour; Strong aromas of primary Grenache fruit, spice, hint of garrigue. Very Rhone - good freshness too; medium weight, nice flavours, opens up nicely on the palate. Very smooth. A very good Cotes du Rhone from a very good year.

Har definitivt passerat bäst före men fortfarande gott.
Inte mycket tanniner kvar men gott om frukt. Tjänar nog inte på vidare lagring, och då var detta ändå en magnum.
