Q4 wine club - Rhone varietals that are not Syrah (The Apt): Wine #7: Drank as part of a blind tasting. Opened prob 30-45 minutes before drinking but didn't end up decanting as we did some of the other wines. I think the lack of decant hurt this a bit. Get a touch of the cough syrup, red fruits, pepper. A very tasty wine. Wish I had gone back to revisit later in the night as I suspect it would have opened up more.

Lusty, full bodied and concentrated, with loads of kirsch, garrague, thyme and black pepper on the nose. There is a good sense of purity and ripeness in the spicy red fruits from start to finish. This should be even better with another couple of years of bottle age.
