Deep red, dark core, light rim. Beautiful pure red and black berries, violet florals, graphite spice, blueberry notes. Dark ripe cassis, blood plum, damson, wood smoke, lightly spiced graphite and tar. Youthful flavours but a middle aged structure, tannins are smooth and furry, unobtrusive acidity, finishes velvety and reasonably long. Drinking well now, could age a few more years but quite possibly near its peak.
Drinks beautifully with an hour or two of decanting. Highly aromatic and elegant nose. Full of life, nice minerality and Northern Rhone Syrah earthiness. Terrific, overall.

Red purple color showing no trace of evolution The nose is on blueberry, forest berry, violette, leather, pepper The palate offer an excellent balance with freshness, structure, lenght It's already approachable if decanted but 3-5 more years will offer more complexity A good bottle

Spicy, peppery, a little steely and flinty, elegant with good structure. A little lean, but very balanced and intriguing.

Raspberry, leather, pine, herbs, and a floral note. Soft tannins and juicy balanced acidity. A nice, elegant style of cote rotie.
