Young and needs time to relax. Fruit is ripe and on the jammy side, but in a few years, this will probably show a lot better.

Very balanced wine, but pretty unremarkable. There is a bit of that smokey gamey northern rhone taste to it, but it takes a back seat to the oak. Seems more like something you would find in California than in the Rhone. I expected much better for the price.

Wow! Totally got the baby aspirin taste. Took me back to my UK roots! This was the go to childhood remedy - not the red wine obviously ;-)
