Granite and menthol, talcum, crushed black raspberry and cherry fruit, theres some potpourri mixed in with forest notes. The meat and olives are taking a step back. Love the crunch this still has at this point in its development. Tannins working nicely and harmonious across the palate, granular yet fine.

Legit old school northern Rhone. Dark, earthy, violet, licorice, rosemary, meat and crushed stones. Ripe and juicy, but with a floral lift and crunch on the finish. All the usual caveats apply (aerate, eat something) but very complete

Served with the cheese course. Great aromatics of black cherry, meat, iron, olive soy and lavender.
