It's only wine but I like it
Plenty of spice and indigenous herbs, with ripe fruit and solid tannin. But this is a bit too astringent at the moment, I suggest keeping this another couple of years for maximum enjoyment, should keep through 2016. Fine Rhone character and well priced. Tasted Dec 2011.
