4/5/2024 - NickA Likes this wine: 93 pointsThomas’s Northern Rhone extravaganza (Cabotte): Dark gold, unsurprisingly. Bitter nuts, yellow raisins and exotic woods on the nose... yum. Toast, butter and hazelnut found on the palate, seasoned with a touch of rancio, and then icing sugar-sweetness coming through with time in the glass. This was divisive, but to my taste absolutely delicious. Great start. |

4/5/2024 - Jamieson12o Likes this wine: 92 pointsSyrah at Cabotte (Cabotte): Easily the oldest white rhone I’ve ever drunk. 14.5%. Whiff of VA on the nose. Quite oxidised; oranges, marzipan, but by no means over and done with. Acidity is pretty spikey on the palate but some ripe stone fruit notes remain. I *really* like this - but I was in the minority to say the least. Perhaps I was just looking forward to the evening! |

3/26/2024 - jfpwine Likes this wine: 92 pointsHigh-end Rhone Dinner at a friend's house. (Hollywood): Medium gold color. Closed on the nose initially, but again opened up in the glass. Spice, Anise and lavender on the nose. Floral and crisp on the palate, with the acidity persisting through the long finish. Great wine. |

1/27/2024 - RED AND BLACK Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is a bomb! Peach mango honey pepper and lots more. Gold colour showing age but this is still so full of life. A white with the weight of a red and representative of the region. My first Sorrel Les Rocoules and it was a nice surprise |

9/25/2023 - Raizes Likes this wine: 93 points苹果、橘皮、榛子、玉米和芝士,还有少许的辛香料和白花香,浓郁而甜美。在口中拥有出色的集中度和丰满的质感。纯净、融合、油润,但由酸度与少许植物性的微苦共同搭建的结构,突出了骨架的棱角,不会让丰满变成肥腻。 |

7/8/2022 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Likes this wine: 95 pointsWow… Second wine in a flight of four wines - all tasted at a private tasting at the domaine. First thing I notice is the similar characteristics of the regular Hermitage Blanc. But this wine has more depth and complexity. Secondly I noticed the looooong finish, which was insane. Could still taste the wine as clearly as daylight even after minutes while listening to Guillaume Sorrel explain about the terroir. Made from the vines grown on the plot of “Les Rocoules” of the famous L’Hermitage mountain. |

10/17/2022 - juffer Likes this wine: 94 pointsBrought to Alex Bday. Started out with distracting VA. Took at full 20 minutes to settle down. Once it did, fantastic experience that only improved with airtime. Intense green apple and green tea was eventually complemented by the more usual nuttiness and a touch of exotic incense and tropical fruit as the mouth also took on weight. To me a clear sign this still has a long life ahead of it. |

Aroma was quite different to the floral notes of young Rhône whites that I have tried before. Guess more than 20 years is a good time to open Rhone whites, the fruit was quite expressive and not shut tight as I have read that Rhône whites can be disappointing in their adolescence. |

Did not seem to want to try too hard to please, yet question is whether it was sufficiently interesting to play it that way. Still, a treat to try a well regarded Hermitage Blanc with some bottle age. |
