(BLIK 1+0.5+0.5+0.5=2.5) Sehr gute Qualität. Der Wein ist schön balanciert. Die präsente Säure buffert das noch sehr stoffige Tannin. Tannin ist von guter Qualtiät, aber noch sehr rauh, braucht noch einige Jahre, um feiner zu werden. Aromtatik zeigt schon erste Reifenoten. Intensität im Gaumen einen Tick höher als in der Nase. Zu jung, braucht 2-3 Jahre Reife und kann anschliessend 6-8 Jahr gelagert werden

This deep ruby wine is a blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% Clairette. Flaunting intense aromas and flavors of dark bramble fruits, Provençal herbs, black pepper, smoked meat and minerals, it is a full-bodied red with well-integrated alcohol (14.5%), soft wood and medium-weight tannins that carry some grip. With good mid-palate density and a lengthy (albeit dry) finish, this is a well-crafted Southern Rhone that will benefit from a bit more time in the cellar. Splash-decanted and tasted over a three-hour period, this bottle showed best after the first hour in carafe. Drink 2024-2030.

Interesting notes of brighter fruit framed by deeper herbal notes that sort of reminded me of eucalyptus. A little bit of natural funk, but nothing overwhelming. Definitely feels a little young, but it’s accessible and enjoyable.

90% Grenache, 5% Mourvedre, 5% Clairette. A bit too stuffy for my liking. 14.5% ABV. Update: Much better after sitting for days in a forgotten open bottle! 91+

Dark-colored. Some sweetness.
