Rhone wines- bold, spicy .Wow

Was given this in a hotel in Laos upon checking in. My first encounter w wine fr Costieres de Nimes, - a region below southern Rhone. Light ruby, intense aroma of red fruits(black current. Black cherry) + plum w peppery spice. Acidic++ w moderate silky tanin. Moderate finish. A young refreshing easy to drink red wine for a group occasions. Value for $$.

I was honored to have tasted this.
