Vintage 2016 | Magnum | Still tannins to my surprise. Needs aeration. Minerals, flint, red fruit. Solid taste. Paired with duck and roasted beetroot.

Vintage 2017 | Modest appellation, modest price, great quality! Cardinalred colour, blackberry, luscious. Fine producer. Paired with charcuterie: sausage with fennel and sausage with pepper. Monday can’t be better. 😉

This is how good Cotes du Rhone should taste. Bramble fruit, tannin in balance. There was some ripe sweetness, and the alcohol was a bit high, but expected and reflective of the vintage.

#SommCon - gripping and tannic. Black cherry, cocoa powder, blueberry compote and licorice.

Fresh plum, red cherry, and blueberry. Quite some black pepper on the nose and palate. Moderate acid and soft tannin. Medium plus body..

Nice and meaty, but could use some acid, some zing. It's close to oily. Great value though

An excellent recommendation by the owner of a wine bar. 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Carignan

Strawberry's on the nose, but not overwhelmingly fruity. Hints of red fruit, tart Apple, light acidity. Not as much structure as other rose's coming out of the southern part of France.
