Very dark purple red, opaque and quite viscous. Not much on the nose, leather and brambles. Blackcurrants and slightly chewy tannins, quite buttery, chocolatey mouth feel, not a lot of depth. Not necessarily typical of a Cotes du Rhone - more like an Argentinian blend. Would go well with pasta.

Oct 1st, 2021Wish I waited a little longer but it was still fanatic. Appearance: garnet with violet undertone
Nose: potting soil, roasted meat and cardamom
Taste: plum, dried strawberry, orange peel finishing with ginger
Overall: Rhône blend with round palate, silky tannins and spiced finish

A little simple, but delicious for sure. Big ripe red fruit but not a ton of depth. Great value though. May benefit from some more age but not sure.
