This is really good, especially for the price. Lots of raspberry, strawberry, cherry, blackberry, and plum fruit, but with enough acidity to make it lithe and good with food. I get chocolate, leather, smoke, and spicy garrigue on the finish along with stemmy tannins, like a whole cluster sort of taste. You can taste the soil here too. It tastes like a Syrah, but is still very bright. I love that. Great match with BBQ chicken. Has plenty of life left, but drank well now after about an hour of air. I should buy more of these bottles.

Le premier nez est discret, le second est agréable et complexe. Fumée sucrée et fruits rouges sont dominant, notamment griottes. Le cuir, la réglisse et une touche d'anis complètent le plaisir. Semble manquer d'un peu de maturité, quelques années en cave devrait le rendre très intéressant. L'attaque est assez fraîche, acidité un peu forte, mais agréable. Les épices se font dominante et une finale douce et moyennement longue s'installe. Belle expérience avec un cassoulet.

Medium to full-bodied. Fruit forward , linear, red fruits prominent Witt raspberries, strawberries, cherries, leather in the backdrop, hot & spicy. Richer texture than Equinoxe. Long finish . Soft tannins for a 2018. Smooth gentle palate. Still very young, will be better with age.

Une odeur repoussante se dégage de ce vin.
Pourtant, en bouche c'est fruité.
À retourner. 43 $ SAQ.

Black olives, black pepper, and blueberries all jump out of the glass.
Medium acid and low tannin keep everything juicy/fresh.
My favorite domaine from the northern Rhone. This is seriously delicious stuff. Wish it was easier to find...
