Tastes like Chateauneuf, not jelly donut. Well done, tannic, but nice balance.

Nice, not overblown, full of pretty strawberry and earth. No question this is Grenache dominated, but it doesn't get to those baked pie notes that so many CdPs do. Not one for the Parker palate, but works for me.

In the perfect spot right now. A joy to drink—we killed this bottle in no time at all.
