Screw top, drop top. Half of the bottle was consumed on the first day while the remaining half was finished three days later. On day one, it was super fresh and racy...almost reminded me of cru Beaujolais. By day three, it had gained weight and complexity. Blue and red fruits, some garrigue and meat. Fresh berries and minerals on the palate. Lacking uniqueness but this was so much better after it got some air. 2015 was a very flattering vintage for the Southern Rhône and I suspect that will prove true through most of Europe. Drink after a long decant or over the next five years.

Light, vibrant, fruity, delicious. This is a terrific wine for the price. I've seen it in Whole Foods across the US and Tesco in England, as about as easy to find as they come. Can't go wrong, especially the 2015 vintage as it was hard to make bad wine that year, I'm told.

Spice, musk, forest floor. Plum and a small amount of vanilla. Medium+ body. Moderately textured tannins and a long woody finish.

Medium ruby red. A bit mute on the nose with just some earthiness and a touch of red berries. Moderate tannins (5/10) and good acidity. Light bodied with red cherries. Well integrated with a dry medium finish. Drink till 2019.
