Decanted thru Vinturi 2-3 hours before blind tasting, re-bottled for event. Nice nose of black fruit, pepper, tobacco, herbs/spices. Silky on the palate w/a medium long finish. Would like more. Day 2 after spending 20+ hrs under gas, was still holding up very, very nicely. Perhaps a 90 today as I finish the bottle.

Concur with ecola's entry: "tobacco and black pepper. Bright acidity, medium body, and a nice blend of fruit and an herbal quality." Improved with more breathing. To accompany lamb sliders w/goat cheese.

A nice solid Rhone wine. Showing a little age but still great.
The wine looks Ruby colored.

Old world in style with earthy berries and dirt on the palate. Medium body with balanced acidity. Versatile food wine.
