This was an outstanding wine. We decanted for about two hours and were rewarded with flavous of black pepper, dark cherries, blackberries and rocky earth. The wine is warming on the palette and has a slightly dry finish. Very pleasing.
Violets, and hot rock. Lacking a little in the flavour department at first, but if you forget about this wine for several hours, and I mean decant for 6-8 hours, the wine opens up with roasted chestnuts, baked blueberries, charred earth and hot rock. Rhone wines are a preferred taste, very different from what most are used to, but very unique and special.
