| Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Alex H on 2/13/2014 & rated 87 points: Rich oily beeswax laden white stonefruits with a good dose of pressed green olives. A bit rocky on the palate as well. (2979 views) | | Tasted by tate491 on 1/16/2012 flawed bottle: Oxidized. Sadly, I was really looking forward to this. (3285 views) | | Tasted by tcfishler on 1/19/2010: Intriguing, pulsating honeyish but not overtly rich, oxidized, or overripe nose of tarragon, black pepper, and rich cream. Weighty palate full of fleshy glycerine but more impressive than heavy in a true sense. Big finish matches the rest of this wine's character, which is all about (out)size booming force. All the oomph seems to be carrying this wine along in the aging process just fine, however. (3351 views) | | Tasted by concord on 12/28/2008: Intense and rich. Lovely fruit though less intense than on purchase in 2003. Rich honey notes on palate. Toastiness is finally showing through as promised by the producer. Excellent wine. Think it was a good time to drink the 98 as the fruit seemed to be fading a bit. (3645 views) |

The Rhône Valley/Le Vins de la Vallée du Rhône (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône)
Regional History: Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
### 2017 vintage ### "The first red wines already tasted in the Northern Rhône promise a beautiful vintage, with a quality close to the 2015 or even the 2009 vintage" - NEWRHÔNE MILLESIMES |
