This was a little disjointed on opening, but with some air it got itself in order and displayed the refreshing mineral notes and acidity that it has in the past. Probably coming to the end of its useful lifespan though. Drink up.

This is not a rose. Dark red almost purple. Sweet rich nose of plum and cherry. Light to medium bodied palate. Long pepper finish. A nice sipper with more than enough stuffing to serve with food.

taste: very good medium body with tones of garrigue, white pepper, dark red fruits and spice tones. Well balanced and while a bit lighter, it's not lacking a mid-palate
overall: an excellent CdR. Well balanced and showing off all the tones you want from a southern rhone wine
