Had this with cured meats and cheeses. The nose just screams northern Rhone. Berries, herbs de Provence, grilled meats on the palate. Medium body, with a good finish. A really enjoyable wine, but the almost complete lack of structure makes this unsuitable with more hearty foods. Drink soon.

Nice nose - berries and a hint of smoke. Lighter than I had expected, both in color and body. Berries on the palate, along with some herbs and pepper. Decent finish. Probably good for no more than another year.

OK - Dark purple appearance, Nose dominated by purple fruit - particularly blackberry. Palate was a little more fruit-heavy than I prefer, but no defects. Long finish with some residual tannins.
