  Dense even overpowering. Not sure this reminds me of Rhône. Bottle could have been affected by water ingress in temporary cellar. Not sure, but not convinced enough to buy again.

  Very smooth and amazingly fruity. Feels fully developed. Pleasant and slightly unusual but not as complex as might be hoped at ten years

  surprised at how classic this tasted, almost CDP like, with good acidity and very aromatic nose, a pleasure to drink and great QPR, highly recommend for Rhone blend lovers.

  This was my second bottle consumed approximately 12 months later and it has improved significantly - much smoother on the tannins and with a wonderful blackberry nose. Excellent and very CNDP like - one issue though it is developing quite a cloud as the tannins drop out - almost a chalky texture to the wine - the flavour is great but very slightly off putting - maybe wait another year or decant longer (30 mins is not enough)

  Translucent ruby red, paling at rim. Feels quite delicate, but strength follows through, numbing the mouth. Raspberry, summer hot herbs and tobacco leaf, with a hint of spice I can't place. A hint of Sangiovese or spiced plums?
