James Suckling
"Major Arcanum symbolizing balance and harmony".
"A powerful Côtes-du-Rhône with aromas of black fruits, dried herbs, roasted meat and baking spices that carry through to a full body with fine, firm tannins. The palate is energetic, structured and weathered. Concentrated finish with intensity and length. Enjoy or keep. (James Suckling 2024). A Côtes-du-Rhône of great aromatic richness.
