Smells of red currant.
Medium, elegant, with flavors of Chambord, blackberry, cherry skin, tarragon.
A great priced GSM, another reason to love the Rhône valley, for its diversity and skill.

Rainier cherry with big tannins.
Good price for the bottle. This has signs of being able to lay down for a few years.!
Pair with modest mouse andYahtzee.

"Vin non filtre"..... something worth looking out for in future and something I have always found in correlation with outstanding wines. Ok, the fruit is excellent, perfect ripeness, and that effortlessly draws you into an ambush of tannin structure that I feel is drawn equally from fruit and oak. Just a wonderful balance and I can't decide which turns me on more, that fruit or those tannins.

Never been a big CDP guy. This is ripe but with nice structure and tannin to balance everything out.

Lovely balance with subdued though buoyant fruit. Definitely feel the smoothness that comes with some aging.
