Glo-stic yellow. Faintly floral; fresh and lively. Deeply packed with flavor evidenced by the lengthy finish. Needs to unfold.

Love this vintage of the Rouge. Piercing acidity to match the depth.

Tastes like the Rhone, Bordeaux, and Provence had a three way and this is the love child. Very stimulating wine. Lovely and beautiful freshness.

I have an affinity for most 07 wines from France. There is a kindness to them. Same here. Still needs years.

In a league of its own. It's so singular I'm not really sure what to do with it. I think I need a much more sober and focused state to really get into this chick. Discover this if you can.
