  Dark red, glistening, vibrant color! Nose sports fair amounts of young grapes, sun-shine and herbal expressions as in garrigue and with darker aromas as well. In the mouth this is also an example of today's theme: Watery expression with a pretty fine structure though.
  Still young and will fatten up a little over some years. Maybe there would have been more pleasure if the btl had been opened up earlier.
  Ok drinking pleasure today and did pretty well with the fish dish for lunch at recently downgraded Fleurelige (Gaienmae, Tokyo).
  1st glass from glass-btl.

  Drank last night and did not record specific tasting notes, but from memory it seemed both out of balance and muted upon opening, but at two hours in the bottle it settled down and displayed good typicity for a decent Southern Rhone wine, decent QPR and ready to drink now IMO.
