Beautiful nose and one of the great vintages of this wine. Dark and red berry fruit, spice, smoke, leather, mint, earth and granite. Palate is ripe and so juicy with an incredibly opulent texture. Such freshness and balance. Velvety and beautiful tannins with terrific sweetness but not too sweet. A mineral sweetness among with gorgeous berry fruit. Terrific wine and oh so young. Value city.

Nose is moderately intense blackberry and a kiss of rubber and black pepper. As this opens lilacs and violets.

Palate is silky blackberry. Internal aromatics are violets and blackberry flowers.

This is always such a great value every year. So well made. Such great typicity. So well made. Best value in the rhone. Ez.

A $50 wine for $25.
