January 8, 2013 - Nose: Fresh green peppers and ham on the stove
Taste: Dirt and ink followed by freshly ground pepper. Some mouthfeel is gone but the echoes still remain.
July 29, 2010 - purple red, brown tinted rim; earthy, cherry nose; terroir; blue berry, mineral on the palate; got weight and structure; clean; spicy and soft tanin finishing; easy to drink; enjoy now...
May 25, 2010 - fine Crozes wine
October 11, 2009 - pretty typical Crozes, some hint of bacon, funny
June 10, 2009 - Faint aromas of cedar, menthol and a bit of violet. On the palate it's berry, vanilla and tobacco. Short finish. This was an end of bin special at $11, for that price it's a fair value.
November 10, 2008 - I think this wine can be best described as thin. Not much of a nose and practically no finish. slightly plumlike, but again, all flavors are light. But on the other hand, what it did show was pleasant for for $10, it's passable.
November 3, 2008 - Bricking red.
Ripe berry nose with oak, perfume, medicinal herbs and quite some clove.
Medium bodied palate with refreshing acidity and slight tannic grip. Ripe but bright berry fruit, sous bois and some bitter notes towards the aftertaste.
Quite ok if nothing that special.
November 3, 2008 - tarry, like a boiled bramble bush
April 8, 2008 - Much better bottle than last time. Still those peperry, a bit stemmy flavors, but fresher and much more rounded.
February 6, 2008 - Acidic with slightly green, stemmy tannins. Berries (currant, cherry, raspberry) and spices (pepper). Good.
