60% Syrah and 40% Grenache. Whole berry fermented and punched down by hand. Extended maceration and aged for 17 months in 100% french oak, 40% new. Lots of sediment. Complex. Excellent Rhone styled blend.

Drank over three days, very interesting! The wine features a generosity of non-jammy fruit, backed by herbs de Provence, garrigue, iodine, and rusty ores, and minerals. Expert oak treatment compliments rather than masks the wine's quality. Medium plus acid, sturdy grip, intriguing texture, rounded mouthfeel. Many more modernly styled CdPs are available and if this was placed in a flight with them, it might turn a few heads. Delicious now, likely better in five years. 93-94.
