flower of acacia, b ch., m+ tannin (very young), m+ acidity. dark chocolate, wood branches (dry). vanilla hint, honey hint.
Grenache nose of black fruit candies. leather note. peach note. black pepper note at the end of lingering palate.

Very beautiful for now, but can also age for a long time.

black currant, dust, flower note.
h alc. m+ tannin (smooth enough), full body.
Need aging.

2007 Domaine de la Janasse Cotes du Rhone "Les Garrigues"


dark chocolate, smoky meat, leather, a bit fur. the color starts to turn into garnet, medium in depth. starts to show aged nose.

Good for now, can still keep for aging, although I think should drink it in 3 yrs.
