"Blackberries galore, a generous body and a positive herbaceous freshness make this Côtes-du-Rhône an attractive wine. Slight impression of dryness on the finish, but there's so much fruit and depth that it adds something to the wine. Good length. Enjoy or keep. (James Suckling 2022)

Well, nothing exciting... a little less young, perhaps?
