Not as much aftertaste as Domaine de Javone as we tasted too. Exactly same price level, but different experiences - not as sweet. A nicer bouquet? A lighter wine? But still Rhone taste in the end. Eva was not impressed...
God koncentration og frugtig aroma af solbær og blommer. Mellemfyldig i munden med noter af lakrids. En Rhônevin i klassisk kølig stil med blød og tilfredsstillende afslutning.

Fresh and juicy, seemingly uncomplicated in the extreme save for some drying tannin (which progressively tightens the wine up). A smoky note suggests some wood but I'd be surprised at this price point. Could cellar medium term for sure. As good as any Oz GSM at this $22 - $25 price point.

Crisp, baked plums, smooth tannin, earth, spice in finish. Good with food.
