The ‘14 was superb, perfectly integrated and extracted. Old leather and cassis. Long finish. The ‘16, however, was another level of rich and round, primary with fig and blackcurrant. Black olive. Years away from peaking, will be a star, likely 9.6++

Zoom tasting with Michel Chapoutier. Southern Rhone warmth, 100% grenache grown on pebbles with red sand. Brought up in concrete tanks, bright fruit
