The importer’s slogan, reprinted on the back label, proclaims “place over process.” That’s ironic, give that this is a 15% chocolatey behemoth. It’s not bad, and many people like this style. I don’t, however. I’ll repeat myself: global warming, Robert Parker, and Phillipe Cambie are killing (maybe have already killed) the Southern Rhône.

Age has helped, but could still age another 15. Iodine and espresso. Baked black fruit. Dark chocolate.

Grenache/Syrah Rhone blend. A bit tart, but the acidity is on point which helps. Happy holidays!
