Opens with big Gigondas grenache nose, Cherries, underbrush and a bit of burnt rubber, still a little hot after a 1.5 hr decant. Medium-translucent more violet than garnet. Medium-light bodied, tannins almost fully integrated a bit rough on the back end, balancing acidity. Again, more typical grenache here with cherry, meaty notes with a hint of iron. Nice, well balanced, well made wine. Pleasant, but not much going on. Don't expect it to get much better with cellar time.

Full body, deep garnet color. Intense ripe red fruits and flowers aroma. Black cherry and jammy plum palate, long finish. Rich, low acidity and sweet tannins. Very enjoyable, drink now and next couple years.
