Rusty red with lots of sediment. Stewed plums, black pepper, and cranberries on the nose. Maybe some dried herbs as well. On the palate, plums carry over and there are notes of cigars and clove-like spices. However, it wasn't really harmonious or delightful. Just present. To quote a salesman I met once, "Buy better stuff." Noted, sir.

On the nose there's raisins & an oxidative note, dry hay bales, black currants & garrigue notes ~ On the palate it's weighty with well integrated tannins & flavors of soy sauce, blackberry, green pepper, black liquorice & a caramel note on the finish ~ Rustic style with nice balance & length

Eucalyptus, tar, blueberry skins and a rustic earthiness on the nose and palate. Medium body with slightly tart and short finish.

Very tasty cote du rhone. Cherry, pepper, spice and lavender, nicely balanced. Drinking nicely.
