Mostly dark red fruit on the nose including raspberries and cherries and also slightly floral. Nice black fruit on the palate with some pepper and a little smoke. Decent length and dusty tannins.

Needs some time to take the edge off, will try again in 2015.

This review is for the 2013. Young Rasteau with deep ruby colour. A hint of funk, then floral, garrigue, cherry fruit, pepper, tar, black olive and smoke. A sour finish with sticky, dusty tannin that needs more time to soften. Good length. Give this a couple of years to integrate. Sept. 2015.

It's only wine but I like it

Classic south Rhone. Blackberry fruit along with smoked meat, local herbs and pepper. Smooth and quite approachable, I would say that this is at its peak. I'd suggest drinking this '12 by the end of 2017 to capture the fine fruit. Solid Rasteau here from Chapoutier. Tasted May 2016.
