Still seemed young, this had some white-peppers, spice on the nose, but palate appeared to be brooding, with structured power/depth. This should continue to evolve nicely with cellar age.

Fully developed, the wine opens with tobacco leaf, cigar box, smoke, blackberry, and cherry tones on the nose. Full-bodied, gracious, refined, filled classy red fruits. This is really drinking great today. Drink from 2022-2032.

Rhône Tasting-cum-Lunch (Restaurant Rijsel, Amsterdam, NL): Released by the Domaine in 2021. Lovely nose, luxurious, deep and warm, spices and red meat, concentration and warmth buffered by refreshing acidity and papery tannins, touch of wood, retains its fruit, has developed beautifully.

Like a great burgundy but with a bit more weight. Enjoyable potpourri of flavours across the raspberry stone saline spectrum. Great from first pour no decant needed.

Very mute on opening. Gradually opened up over two hours post decant to show traditionalist (but very clean) northern Rhone. Not lean but certainly none of the expected ‘07 exuberance. Cloves, thyme, bacon fat. Raspberry, blackberry in background. Great length and so much improved with time and air. A near classic northern rhone Syrah but not obviously Cote rotie?
