Medium garnet color, looks fresh and young. The nose is bright cherry and with a floral and herbal touch of lavender and chamomile. Cherry and black raspberry on the palate. Light to medium body and a decent finish. Excellent and versatile with food, the sort of wine that I’d like to drink with street tacos or pretty much anything. Will watch for future vintages.

Gave this just under an hour of air. Initial aromatics show a mix of florals, blackberry & cracked pepper. Very Northern Rhone-like. Medium bodied with a great mix of spices, red berries & citrus zest. Tannins emerge & get serious as the wine opens. I have no experience or history with Corsican wine, and this is fantastic. Probably QPR and Discovery of the year for me.

Stonger syrah presence than I remember in the 2011 adds a subtle bit of pepper. Very good, smooth, and balanced.

No notes. Recall that I liked it better right out of the bottle, with a cellar chill, than I did after a two-hour decant.
