Tasting notes
Vivid mid-purple colour with a knockout nose of cherry blossom and bacon fat. Meaty yet youthful and fruit driven, with a crack of fresh black pepper to boot, this is absolutely delicious. Green olives, dark cherries and zesty acidity against ripe red fruit, the tannins are soft, cloaked by pure fruit. Delicious already, these wines can be deceptive and age beautifully for a decade or more. If you’re lucky enough to find some, it would be hard to wait that long. (TP)

The all-destemmed 2019 Cotes du Rhone mixes cherries and black cherries with delicate hints of dried herbs on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is quite firm and structured, with a soft dusting of tannins on the finish. To me, it's very much a wine to pair with rare beef or lamb off the grill.
