9.3 for now, with upside. Beautiful, classical Southern Rhône aromatics of white pepper, lavender, cassis, herbs de Provence and lots of floral lift. The palate is juicy, crunchy and very pure, with that lovely Grenache airiness and just enough Syrah depth through the middle. The tannins are especially fine, silky and elegant, with terrific stoniness and a clear galet character underneath the fruit. Really well made, fresh and balanced, with just a faint flicker of heat on the finish. Not as strong as the bottles I tasted this summer, but still an excellent showing and clearly capable of more with air.
