Black & red cherry, black plum & earth. Dried herbs, firm but soft tannins. Weighty mid-palate, long finish.
Would rate higher, but alcohol is out of balance and very prominent.
Needs time in bottle.

Light peppery, blackberry nose. Succulent palate of blackberry soft peppery notes. Richly extracted. Finish is long and soft. Well deserving of the 94 points #wineadvocate gave!

Excellent old world nose. A taste of currant, a very refined fruit taste. A smooth delicious finish

Tasted 3/20. Disappointed as it was lighter than I anticipated for a Rhône. 85.
