Great #Rhone #wine. Love this producer, and this was the first taste of the #Lirac. Smooth deep cherry, but not stewed. Balance. I like how the palate finishes light and lifting with brighter red fruits. Plenty of character for the price!

Floral nose, good long tannin. Had with steak diane - the fatness made a great pairing.

Deep color. Big wine with untamed tannins and loads of blackberry fruit. Still quite rough.

Drank it too young, as it was even better the second day. Excellent value and a delicious wine
