Everyone pegged this for Allemand blind, over a bottle of Allemand (was in a weird place) in fact.

Nose of plum and raspberry jelly. Some black pepper spice on the finish and same fruits in the body. Not quite the depth or intensity of a good Cornas but delicious and will let the other bottle age a bit.

First from this producer. Lovely savory nose—olives, roasted meat. Palate was all over the place.
