This is jet-shot plum in colour, richly-textured. The nose presents a blend of fresh and cocktail cherries, with hints of blackberry crumble. The nose is rather noble, intense and concentrated with delectable sweet old vine fruit to the fore, lightly peppered. This is an extraordinary wine, rich and supple with beautifully-integrated ripe tannins and a well-pitched balance - a very fine result.
The Rhône wine region comprises two discrete vineyard areas whose landscapes, soils, climates and even grapes vary significantly, resulting in distinctly different wine styles.Â
