Red with brownish rim, clear, medium intensity. Mature, medium intensity nose. A beautiful cascade of layered aromas; dried forest berries, some black peppar, aromatic almost perfumed vibes, a hint of oak, green peppar. And starts all over again. On the palate dry, medium(+) rounded acidity, medium, finely crushed tannins, medium(+) body. 13%. Complexity of all aromas with added fruity nuances of red and black berries. Very good length with integrated oak and some smoke. Finely textured afterfeel. As time goes, and especially day two, the typical crozes-hermitage character evolves. Darker fruit, rubber, charcuterie. Lively and fresh. Impressed.

Drinking wonderfully well with fruit, good grip. Dficult to describe mix of tart cherry, lots of rasberry on the nose, and ight lilac. Delicately sweet, moderate finish and really nice to drink. Not a ton of complexity, but at this price who cares? Hits well above its price point.

Coming into its own now. Powerful nose of leather, meat, and minor (good) barnyard/sweat on the nose. Acid has finally faded now to only moderate-high. Medium+ body. Dark and gamey flavors. Still somewhat tight finish. ANOTHER 2 years to peak. Glad I didn’t give up on this wine after last taste.
