2013 vintage. Inviting aromas where red and blue berries intermingled with roasted spice, dry herbs, leather and naked stoneiness. Happy to feel the texture with any oak covers. Should complement a variety of dishes in the coming 6-8 years.

52% Grenache, 23% Carignane, 20% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre. Love Rhone blends and wanted to like it more than I did. Decent wine.

Anise, black cherry, floral hint. Medium tannins, medium acid. Becomes more monolithic and grapey with air. Nothing special. Lacks freshness. 13 vintage.
