I know the wines of northern rhone can be too meaty and wild for some people, but that's the very reason I gravitate toward them. 2015 is not a vintage I'm liking because everything is radically fruit forward.

Solid. Great value N. Rhône wine, captures the Domaine’s style very well. Nicely fruited, all black with riper tones of plum and crushed ripe blackberry, a denser and more concentrated offering, juicy. A kiss of blue fruit pokes out on the palate. Licorice, sweet meat/jerky, mocha, smoke, menthol. Drinking very well in its youth, still has some grip and substance to lay down for a few years.
