Half bottle. Characteristic Vaqueras, worked well with strongly flavoured tomato soup and terrine, but less well with a blanquette de veau.

Inky. Loads of stewed purple fruits. Charred and roasted spice. Very tight day one. Looking forward to trying day two.

Nice year in the Rhône! Espresso Creme brûlée nose, big mouthfeel can tone down with length in the cellar. Black currant and plum. Wish I bought another bottle to store.

Delicate on the tongue but a bold, even taste - pairs quite well with a strong cheese!
