Medium garnet color with large clear rim; very nice perfumed nose of red fruit and garrigue; soft texture and mouthfeel with plenty of acid to carry a nice finish. Quite nice!

Decanted, and drunk straight away. Lots of fine sediment. Light garnet, fading to amber at the rim. Pure fruit on the nose with not a hint of old Rhone funk. A juicy touch of acidity at first followed by a sweet, soft, rich red-fruit and smoke palate. Still has length. There seems to be a bit of variation with these, but this was a delicious - if not overly complex - bottle.

this wine is very variable and some bottles have shown premature oxidation. Others including this one are a good mid red colour , some leather and spice on nose, fully mature soft but a reasonable finish. needs drinking but an enjoyable bottle and decent value

Mature colour. Still lively nose mature. Fruit at first then became a bit sharp then medicinal after an hour or so. Barely hanging on

This bottle was either way past it's prime or it suffered from oxidation. Color was pale red and the wine was barely drinkable.
