  • 2013 Alain Voge St. Péray Fleur de Crussol

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, St. Péray

    Pale/medium lemon. Nose is quite oaky, with vanilla, sesame seed but this has pleasing weight on the palate with creamy fruit, sesame seed, attractive fresh acidity leading into a medium/good length lightly orangey finish. Nice, despite the overt oakiness. ***

  • 2003 Clusel-Roch Côte-Rôtie Les Grandes Places

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Nose shows slightly baked red fruit, florals, spice, touch of cream. Medium bodied, creamy red fruit with good palate presence, soft tannins and a long harmonious red-fruited finish. Excellent, especially in the context of the vintage. ****

  • 1999 Patrick Jasmin Côte-Rôtie

    Slightly sulphury at first, blowing off to revel savoury dark fruit, bacon, spice. Attractive on mid-palate, tannins a touch drying on the finish. ***1/2

    Lovely pure, ripe dark fruit on the nose, touch of black olive, medium/full, spicy, lightly smoky dark fruit on the mid-palate, fine but still pertinent tannin, long, fresh finish. Lovely, still with plenty in hand ****1/2.
