PopnPour, tasted over 1 hr and day 2 -med dark red no bricking -licorice stone red/black fruits -med acidity, med- weight, subtle earthy red/black fruits in the background now more licorice/tar with a bit of heat peeking out at back end, surprisingly better integrated components on day 2 -still drinking well but starting to decline, this isn't a complex or regal wine but it has been a pleasant daily drinker since release that reflects its region well at a ridiculously low price

Dark red with some purple. Juicy red and black fruits and stony minerality on nose. Refreshing acidity on a lighter frame with juicy somewhat grapey black fruits, tar and licorice with slightly coarse tannins. This is a perennial very good everyday dinner wine that is a bit more interesting than usual this vintage.

Dark color, some typical S. Rhone grenache and a bit of pepper. Nice aromatics. Drinking well now. Great little value as always.
