Pas de fruit. (2510 views) | | | Tasted by MeMyself&I on 8/2/2011 & rated 80 points: A mineral overload here.... Tasted over three nights. the limestone kept getting in the way of everything else. (4796 views) | | | Tasted by vinolovers on 12/18/2010 & rated 89 points: A nice ruby coloring. Opened and poured without decanting which was a mistake! The inital flavor profile was of subdied red fruit buried beneath astringent tannins. However, starting about 30 minutes in the glass the tannins began dropping leaving a nice profile of cherries, raspberry, licorice and mint in a smooth wine that had lots of backbone. Contrary to other notes, this wine still has a couple of years left, at least, making it a prime example of the 7 year rule. Very nice bottle with a pork roast. (5060 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 10/5/2010 & rated 84 points: Gefällt am Ende immer besser, war aber die letzte Flasche. Nochmal kaufen würd ich ihn nicht aber man kann ihm auch nix vorwerfen.

(3677 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 7/10/2009 & rated 82 points: Nase nach nassem Hund aber schöne Frucht zu Beginn. Farbe tiefviolett. Wein wird an der Luft zunächst runder, baut dann aber ab. (2625 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 3/18/2009 & rated 79 points: Vierfach dekantiert, etwas bitter. (2817 views) | | | Tasted by rdk on 3/8/2009 & rated 87 points: Good bottle of CdR. Tasted better on day 2. For $8, a decent deal. (3240 views) | | | Tasted by Schönibert on 1/29/2009 & rated 83 points: nice Cherries, fruity, tannic, still young (2822 views) | | | Tasted by HarryBK on 1/17/2009: Better 1 day after opening (2967 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 1/12/2009 & rated 85 points: Acidic, fruit forward wine with plum and cherry. What you expect for a Cotes du Rhone. (892 views) | | | Tasted by Sijan on 11/26/2008 & rated 86 points: Tasty. Went well with food. (3056 views) | | | Tasted by RogerG on 11/4/2008: Juicy (356 views) | | | Tasted by R-T on 8/10/2008 & rated 84 points: drank at one sitting, charactaristic cotes du rhone not overly impressive (3211 views) | | | Tasted by markjahnke on 8/2/2008 & rated 87 points: Similar to many of these we've had, and we've burned through nearly 2 cases if not more. I don't think this wine is going to get any better in time, but for the price, who would expect that anyway. Regardless, it was a joy to drink. Nice hints of raspberry, plum, cherry, spice and oak on the nose. On the palate, notes of plum were dominant, with other hints of red berries and some spice. A short and sweet finish make this wine a pleasure to drink. Drink over the next 12 months. 87 points. Cheers (3191 views) | | | Tasted by n8540 on 5/18/2008 & rated 86 points: I still think this is a great value for the price. It probably won't knock your socks off, but you can pair this wine with just about any food or occaision. (3552 views) | | | Tasted by Dark Helmet on 5/7/2008 & rated 84 points: mis-paired this wine and I don't think gave it a fair shot. had it with a spicy pizza that buried it. overall, a bit tight and a disappointingly short finish. for $10, I'd buy more. For the $15 I paid for it, there were and are many better options. (3707 views) | | | Tasted by d2 on 3/17/2008 & rated 86 points: Aromas of tar, leather and cigar mixed with dark berries. Flavors were a bit green (could have probably stayed in the cellar another year or so) but some of the earthy, leathery flavors came through. A nice wine for the price. (3993 views) | | | Tasted by pshane on 2/5/2008 & rated 87 points: Deep impressive color, earthy with hints of red berries and subtle spices. Nothing exceptional, but a nice table wine at a nice price ( $10-12). Have it with dinner or heavier hors douvres as opposed to by itself. (4115 views) | | | Tasted by jslenker on 2/5/2008: Don't buy again! (4154 views) | | | Tasted by mclgreenville on 1/28/2008 & rated 85 points: Day #1 = Decanted for about 1 hr. Without the decanting I think it would have been a bit too bitter. Meaning, you would have enjoyed the wine a hell of alot more the second night. Nice rub color. Sipped this w/ tacos tonight. Nose of raspberrys bitter cherries. Taste of about the same w/ some white pepper. Not that bad. It's missing the complexity that some Rhones have, clearly. But, not that bad for a cheap sipper. Paid $11....I think.
Day #2 = (4024 views) | | | Tasted by JohnJ on 1/12/2008 & rated 82 points: definitely food wine--opened after time. final sips cherry (4021 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

U.S. Importer (?) (Addt'l Info)
U.S. Importer (?) (Addt'l Info)
Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the most prestigious producers in the Rhone, notably in Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage. The earliest record of the Jaboulet family producing wine is from 1834, and the eventual house of Paul Jaboulet Aîné remained in Jaboulet family ownership until 2006. It was then sold to the Frey family, proprieters of Ch La Lagune in Bordeaux, and numerous other vineyards.
Frey obtained the famous brand names such as Hermitage "La Chapelle" and Crozes Hermitage "Domaine de Thalabert", but not all of the vineyards historically used for producing those wines. Notably the vineyard used to produce Crozes Hermitage "Domaine de Thalabert" - a vineyard historically known as Les Grandes Vignes - was split, with part remaining under the control of Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet. Nevertheless Frey succeeded in restoring the reputation of Paul Jaboulet Aîné which had fallen away during the 1990s.
Domaine de Raymond Roure is a 3.5ha Crozes Hermitage vineyard high on the back of the Hermitage hill which Jaboulet acquired in 1996. The red now sells at a premium to Thalabert and is the wine for longer keeping.
Paul Jaboulet Aîné owns parcels of vines in several Rhone appellations both north and south, and produces an extensive range of both estate bottled and négociant wines.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.
