Really well balanced and with a fantastic QPR. Still lots of fruit over spice. Dark ruby color and medium to long finish. Medium body. This wine managed to balance a lot of tomato and veggies in the meal while still managing to not overwhelm. Very well done wine.

I really like this wine. Velvety and rich but still providing plenty of aromatic lift and fruit despite the brick color starting to show. Balance is nice with a subtle acidity underneath the fruit. Nice.

This wine is fuller and richer with more garrigue and licorice than I remember from the last bottle a few months ago. Delicious. This wine hits all the right notes: beautiful dusty red fruit on the nose, soft and supple tannins on the palate with a medium-length finish. The edgy minerality on the edge of the tongue is fantastic and very food-friendly. It's too bad I didn't buy more.

Really good wine. A bit lighter than I expect from a southern Rhone. This wine hits all the right notes: beautiful dusty red fruit on the nose, soft and supple tannins on the palate with a medium-length finish. The edgy minerality on the edge of the tongue is fantastic and very food-friendly. It's too bad I didn't buy more.

Big, bold, rich, and full of flavor. Garrigue and licorice make this fantastic!
