 Tasted by Loekkeboe on 8/6/2015 & rated 91 points: Fine. Mature. Has been holding up nicely - but still: Drink up soon.

Fun fact: backlabel says that it should be drunk between 2001 and 2007. (1207 views)
 Tasted by urga on 9/13/2009: 14,50% alc., noch immer dichtes purpurrot, lediglich zarte Randaufhellungen, jugendliche Erscheinung, in der Nase fast noch verhalten, Anklänge nach Kirsche und Kirschlikör, Flieder, keine Altersnoten erkennbar, am Gaumen noch immer gesundes und deutliches Tannin, leichte Bitterkeit, relativ kurzer Abgang. Vielleicht momentan nicht in der besten Verfassung, hat sicherlich noch ein langes Leben vor sich. Dieser Wein sollte, trotz seines Alters, wohl noch immer karaffiert werden. Noch immer straffes Tannin, dieser Wein hat sicherlich noch mindestens 5 Jahre vor sich. (3119 views)

Red Rhone Blend

Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.

A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
