Awesome and HUGE! Even better after a long day with kids, an icky rainy day and a trip to build a bear. A gorgeous bouquet with a masculine edge and fruit that becomes more expressive as it opens. The finish rocks. Long briary fruit tones with spice and warmth.

So much depth! Very reminiscent of Cote-Rotie. Co-ferment. Meaty, white flower, white pepper, fine tannins. M body, M+finish, M acid. Delicious.
