The colour is an immediately appealing intense, plum-bramble, then the nose is quite, quite, beautiful, an appetizing array of pure cassis, flowers, tobacco and wood smoke, echoed on the palate, which is silky, with beautifully integrated tannins. This dances on the palate, despite undeniable underlying power. So tempting even now, in its infant state, this is nonetheless a - vin de garde - , which will reward the patient - a really outstanding wine.
"This wine is a brilliant flag-bearer for the appellation, and indeed for the whole of the Northern Rhône."
