Thoughts

Nothing too special about this wine. It’s a cheap GSM blend. This was my first real experience of a Côte Du Rhône. It wasn’t great, but definitely got me interested in the region. I’v got a few bottles from this region on my wishlist.

Tasting Notes

  • Medium-dark ruby in color
  • Lost of dark fruit—blackberry, Plumb, raspberry
  • Jammy, overripe, cooked fruit flavors (Maybe a hot vintage)
  • A hint of rubber/plastic
  • Dry, not much residual sugar
  • Medium-plus body
  • Medium-plus acidity almost juicy
  • Medium-plus alcohol
  • Light presence of tannin, no signs of oak
