  Fruit forward for N. Rhône with plum, cherry and blackberry. Also savory with olive and herbal notes. Fresh, racy acidity balances the big flavors well.

  The nose is an intriguing combination of savory (hickory, bacon, sage, desert brush) and fruit (cherry, plum, pomegranate). Nearly full bodied, the acid is juicy and moderators the densely grained gritty tannin, which has barely started to resolve. It’s structurally pleasant but I think will hit a more elegant stride texturally in five years. Flavors include cherry, red and black plums, smoked soy sauce umami, sautéed sage, and dried seaweed. I wouldn’t blame anyone for putting bottles of these down now, but we’re going to sit on our second bottle for five years to see if the structure smooths out and elongates.

  Yummy stuff - vibrant and open with black raspberry flavor predominating with a bit of tart cherry fading to a lovely minerality. Medium-minus acidity still carries a lovely finish. Quite nice.

  Drinking perfectly. Opened 1 hour, no decant needed. Great darker red and black fruit, bit of mineral, leather, plum. Balanced, moderate long, deceptive graceful richness.

  Interesting, atypical Northern Rhône. Deep purple color, offers plum, black currant, cedar, new leather, clove. Silky texture, juicy red and black fruit with echoes of cedar on the palate. Medium-bodied, slightly lean, with polished tannins. Not what I was expecting, but quite nice for what it is.
