Clearly something wrong here, an oxidized note on the nose that became slightly less obnoxious with aeration, then the wine completely collapsed. What a disappointment.

1.Southern Rhone tasting. I detected game, leather, dark cherry, blueberry and peppered bacon on the nose. Medium + acidity and tannins. Medium body. For me, this wine was simpler on the palate than its nose. Paired nicely with the beef stew. Also consider fowl, poultry, salted meats.

If you still have a bottle, drink it soon! Very earthy smell (my wife says 'farm fresh'), but after 2-3 hours it was quite pleasant.

Really good nose and flavor. Good balance of dirt and fruit on the nose. Well balanced palate of fig, non-sweet fizz fruits, good acid.
