Very tasty. The Franc really comes through. Quite complex especially on the long finish. I'd be happy to have this again. The recommendation was to drink with lamb. I believe it.

Super interesting! It is like Bordeaux and Rhone had a baby! Lot's of green pepper and density with a bit of racy, spicy notes from the grenache! Really interesting and though provoking!

Dusty red and blue fruit, quite inviting aromatics
Lovely soft body juicy sour tannin core. Fresh balance is admirable and the whole bottle, delicious.

Young, but in a fresh, lively way for a pretty deep red blend. Second wine of the evening, so lost some nuance. Looking forward to starting with this one. Seems versatile; good value.
