Blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Mourvèdre, aged in oak, Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, oak and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and sweet raspberry with notes of oak, vanilla and leather. Smooth tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and pepper spice. Very nice.

A little spice and a little taste of plum can I make you missed the summer of Rhône

Though likely past it’s peak, that must’ve been something even more special. Took an hour to sort out the rich brambly red fruit, plum sauce and shroomy earth. A real treat.

Young, shows the vintage from the grenache but the extra dollop of SM is helping this out. I like the dark, brooding black/blue fruit component, a little sexy. Loads of spices across the board. Some astringent tannins need to furl out, there’s some compartmentalization going on structurally that needs resolve for that ultimate CNDP hedonism train but for now I like the muscles it brings to the table. Raw power and untamed, perfect match to unapologetically rich/rustic food with the same personality.

Too much alcohol noticeable, not well balanced. A shame for such a great vintage. Could be in a bad spot right now but I think its just not in balance.

I wish I could hang out with this one a little longer. Feels so much more promising than a tasting could give it.

Liquified licorice candy. Hefty stuff, alive with acid and tannin balancing out the sweet dark fruit.
