Quality wine. Spice, gravel, dark fruit, garrigues, potpourri nose. Palate is seamless, if perhaps slightly overripe for my taste, and very approachable, with an exceptionally long finish. Blind I had this as a modern style Beaujolais from a bigger vintage, so it’s validating to see others say it drinks like a Beaujolais.

Lovely wine. Tastes as much like Beaujolais as CdP. Floral and fruity, easy to drink—though tannins do assert themselves. Lots of violets in the nose. Cooked dark fruits, roasted meat, black pepper, and black tea on the palate.

Ripe, sweet and full of southern Rhone flavour, this is a really good effort. Has a savoury mineral finish that balances this nicely and is a very good chateauneuf replacement. 88

Shows well now, given some air. Drank over 2 days, evacuating air. 2nd day it was v.g. with prime rib. Tannin smooth, nice balance. Keep or drink.
