Dark and earthy with loads of funky organic notes, damp ground, ashtray and plum on the nose. Very rich and interesting palate with softened tannins, sustained acidity and dark fruits. Quite a good and, well aging wine.

Great wine. Still with a good fruit: red and a hint of plum. Graphite. Delicious acidity, very balanced, fat, with resolved tanins. Ripe aftertaste. Medium to long finish. Very different compared to the last bottle. This one will last for at least 3 years in a good shape!

Ruby/garnet. Fairly mature. A classic, warm-hearted Southern Rhone red. Ripe red fruits, smoke, black pepper and Asian spice. Fully flavoured and ripe, developed, roasted plum character, a little fat, lacking in elegance, slightly lacking acidity. Drink now or leave for a few years – could develop into something really interesting. £180 per case

color: dark cranberry/violet nose: ripe dark fruit, tar, and pepper with a hint of thyme. Ripe and meaty with nice minerality and peppery spice. decent structure, yet fairly soft and plush on enrty. drinking quite nicel and super value at $9 (closeout?)!

Inicio bem rustico. Com a decantacao foi ficando muito bom. Deve ser tomado nos proximos 18 meses.
