We get what the fuss is about, this is impressive wine that straddles rugged rusticity with poise and purpose. Concentrated, dense red and black fruit cake the mouth in a pleasing, friendly and full way - the wine’s quite broad on the palate. The fruits in a developed space - think very ripe or dried rather than jammy and unctuous. Grippy tannins and bright acidity grapple the gums giving it structure and shape. Fruit leather and berry seeds mix with black currant and cassis. This is a classic Rhone blend, each varietal influencing the wine purposefully. Harmonious and well balanced. The finish is lasting and complete - stunning wine.
