Still a heavy hitter, and I doubt if it will ever be anything else - this is the style of the sunny side of the mountain. It is not overwhelmingly sweet, however, there is a good backbone here, a firmness and a dryness in the tannins, that I do like. To drink with meat.

3rd of 12. Still very youthful in appearance. Fruity with lots of classic Rhone herbs and spices, medium bodied and slightly vegetal finish. Consumed with duck dish with Moroccan spices and was a very good match. 4/5

After 15 minutes in the glass it developed to a excellent wine, very fruity and comfortable spicy. Extremely complex with sweet and dried fruits, tastes of cherry and pomegranate, cinnamon and clove. Powerful finish.
