Still carrying too much oak, but still holding in there. I have faith.

Tight, but plenty of promise. Spicy, herbal, blood red. Quite deep and serious

Love this one. Dark & dusty. Perfect for a robust pasta.

This is just crazy good for the price. The fruit is dark and a little more overt than I am used to in a Rhone, the earth a little more mineral than garrigue (this could all totally be in my mind but who cares). The world "layered" comes to mind when enjoying the complexity of this. Ahhh! Right up my alley. Buying more.
