Rather disappointing, blueberries, almost malbec-style, low acid levels. Doesn’t feel like it will improve.

A typical Gigondas but of lesser quality than most previous ones tested. Hard to explain: All flavours and tastes that ought to be there, are there, but in the wrong place. Capice?!

A blend of about 60% Syrah with remainder Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Aromas of lively berry fruits and spicy notes. On the palate cherry and plum flavors with licorice notes and light pepper spice. Soft tannins medium finish ending with fruit and spice. Good drinking now.

Soy sauce, iron, black pepper, cranberries, mint, elevated tannin, moderate plus acidity, elevated alcohol. More of St Joseph rather than Grenache dominant...

Really enjoyable - juicy, pure red fruit, classic Rhône.

Well balanced, black fruit, nice full body. Good value and a good crowd pleaser. Nothing you wouldn’t like about this wine!
