Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceDark cherry colour. Tobacco, peppery, gamey, liquorice, meaty, roasted pepper, black cherry, licorice aromas. Rich, round, good concentration and ripeness with some gritty, young tannins. Lots of black cherry, plum, liquorice, garrigue, peppery, mineral, spicy, coffee flavours. Good intensity but will benefit from a few years and soften the tannins.Tasted: 04 December 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
