  Resin, garigue, tar and rose petals, classic southern Rhône flavor profile; still a bit tight despite 6 plus years of bottle age. Feels like there is a top gear missing, but still very good.

  Purple colour; good legs;
  Juicy fruity on the palate; cherries, blackberries, liquorice.
  Smooth mouthfeel. Low acidity and tannins not prominent. May not last that much longer; 1-2 years. At its peak now.

  A good mix of fruity and savoury, with cranberry, raspberry, baking spice, leather, yeasty bread, and some bretty goodness. If it was just slightly fuller I could describe it as silky. Medium tannins that mostly smooth but slightly grippy and medium acid. It drinks great now but if you have a bottle I'd give it one more year.

  Très bon. Mérite peut-être d'attendre un peu. Arômes de Poivre, cuir, épices, girofle orange, prune. acidité + alcool ++. Un petit peu court en finale.
