Excellent wine! Silky tannins, full-bodied, pair fine with ox tail.

Plenty of spice and indigenous herbs, with ripe fruit and solid tannin. But this is a bit too astringent at the moment, I suggest keeping this another couple of years for maximum enjoyment, should keep through 2016. Fine Rhone character and well priced. Tasted Dec 2011.
