Rubis fonce
Nez de coulis de fruit rouge et noir
Bouche fraiche mais gourmande avec une rondeur en fin de bouche liée à la maturité
Peu d alcool
Vin sur le fruit avec peu de complexité aromatique

Opens up nicely on day 2. Relatively light for 14.5%. Fresh, dark red fruit.

A bit of effervescence coming out of the bottle, but it's still young and this may correct itself. Very light and quite fruity for a Rhone. Not what I expected but a pleasant and versatile wine.
