At Wine Styles after long meeting, thanks to John!

Lighter style CdP, with nice light strawberry fruit with some sweetness but not cloying in any way. Lighter mouthfeel, with quite a bit of freshness. Licorice and garrigue add interest and complexity-there could maybe be more herbes de provence, but there is enough to be very nice. A quite nice summer sipper wine. Solid 87 points!
