Excellent example of fruity and concentrated wine from Cote du Rhone. We opened the bottle for dinner and as it s so easily drinkable, somehow we finished it quite soon. In taste there is concentration of forest fruit and plums with nicely balanced fruit taste with alcohol, which does not stand out at all and it is well encompassed.
