Nice balance of dark fruit and Acidity. Spice and a hint of smoke makes this wine interesting and fun to pair food with.

🔥 - flat out fantastic! legit northern Rhône profile: very inky no signs of age - huge wafting nose after just a few minutes in the decanter: oozing blackberry spice cake, minty smoky peppery meaty earthy feral - a real wild child, on the palate it was much more restrained, refined, smooth med bodied - again, so much black fruit and all the notes from the nose, really Old World style: great material handled by an artist
