Rating: 4.0/5
This fully developed Côtes-du-Rhône Villages displays a clear purple hue with a medium colour intensity. Aromatic notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, black/white pepper, and flint rise with hints of cloves. On the palte, fine-grained tannins support a medium-bodied structure, with balanced acidity, medium alcohol, and dry sweetness, revealing blackcurrant, leather, and blackcurrant leaf flavours. With a medium finish, this wine is complex and ready to drink now but will age well.
