What wine should be like. Beautiful.
I was rather disappointed with my first bottle so I sought advice from FVD. I will follow their guidance either to leave the wine to mature and "open" a little longer, to let it breathe a while after opening (always good advice) or to decant it.
Superb. A real Rhone red.
Classic and delicious Cote du Rhne. Unbeatable everyday drinking - highly recommended
