A rather disapointing wine, not for the apellation as much as a rhone red. Just a bit too oaked and with nothing to support. meh. Drink of hold, but not likely to improve. 14.5% abv

I'm never convinced about lesser RV appelations to age gracefully even into the early stages of middle age but this one looks ok. Medium weight, puffy soft minerals, lingering finish driven by soft tannin. Really pretty good.

17/20 * * * * -COUP de COEUR- SAQ CELLIER: 20$ VISUEL:marron foncé OLFACTIF: beau nez avec un boisé bien intégré. Quelques notes tertiaires. GUSTATIF: Bon fruité (figues et pruneaux) Tanins fins avec une blle évolution. Le fruité demeure intense tout le long de la dégustation avec un côté "toasté" et confituré. ENSEMBLE: Voilà un CdR qui a superbement évolué. Prêt à boire maintenant et je lui décerne un Coup de Coeur !
