A rather massive and overt Rhône, deeply concentrated and high in alcohol. Does not drink as hot as expected, but does not have the freshness to balance that "15.5%" abv. This needs food to tame it. That said I love the savory/meaty elements this wine has. All brawn, in your face. Beef blood, leather, mocha, warm spice, deep, deep black/blue fruit, smoke and ash. This can be a great wine if you're up for it/have the right meal.

Delicious! And great aromas. For 14.95 is a good deal. Will get more.

Blew me away! GSM blend from Ventoux region. Concentration and silkiness are amazing. Dark berries, baking spices, and hints of black olive. Tannins are like creamy silk. Incredible quality here. 2016 vintage on April 6, 2019.

Firm, strong tannins, high acidity and full bodied. Excellent notes of warm spice, berries, coffee and smoke and leather. Paired very nicely with a Boeuf Bourgignon. Perfect alcohol percentage to pull out the tannins in the wine and the dish.
