  Ich bin kein großer Freund der südlichen Rhone. Dieser wuchtige Wein hat sehr viel Extrakt, dunkle eingekochte Waldfrüchte, Bitterschokolade, und ist recht alkoholisch. Ihm fehlt etwas die Eleganz, die bei Weinen aus Chateauneuf oder auch Gigondas möglich ist. Etwas Luft tut ihm gut, zwei Tage offen stehen aber nicht.

  Tasted from a bottle that had been open overnight, and I liked this wines exuberance. Pepper sauce, bright berry fruit, fig paste and mulling spices on the nose. Bold and juicy on the palate, but tangy, with black cherry and currant fruit. Notes of graphite, anise and Brazil nuts add complexity. Has the stuffing to age while growing in nuance over the next three or four years, maybe more.
