A lovely fruity taste. Kept on drinking over several glasses.
heard Jean Smullen give glowing review on Moncrieff's Movies & Booze segment on Newstalk. She was spot on!
It reminds me to Burgundy. Mineral, lovely acidity, and tropical fruits.

Etienne Curson is one of the go to names in the Northern Rhone. Château Curson is a particularly historic property where the soils are quite gravelly sloping, with a more clayey subsoil deal for the development of Syrah vines, allowing the elaboration of complex wines, concentrated with fine tannins and well coated.
