Nice, well-rounded CR, open and charming with lovely freshness. Fruity and brisk at first, slowly developed with more savory and floral nuances coming out with air. Day 2 was rocking. Black cherry/roast plum, violet, garrigue, singed wood, dried olives, granite.

Rich condrieu but enough acidity underneath to make this food friendly.

Not too complex, but utterly delicious. Gorgeous nose of violets and juicy on the palate.

Very pleasant already but plenty of promises and yet more complexity to come. Keep an eye on this one.
