  Very good fruit, balance, garrigue, mineral. Hint of oak dissipates after open for a couple hours. Great qpr.

  Medium intensity, ruby color.
  
  Right off the bat cool red fruit, meat juice, garrigue spice, dusty soil, white pepper, dried violets and a slightly funky/animalistic note.
  
  Decent structure and intensity with quite juicy fruit on the palate. Raspberry, tart blackberry and strawberry along with some floral and savory notes. It ends bone dry in a medium finish.
  
  A great entry level wine from a region that leaves me disappointed way too often. Should develop nicely over the next 5 years.

  Sortimentsprovning Johan Lidby Vinhandel; 9/10/2015-9/12/2015 (at their office.): good warm fruit that offers a lot for the money. A very good and quite serious cotes du rhone. some heat on the finish.
