September 6, 2020 - Still pretty fruity but with some development. Modern but goof quality. Would still benefit from more time.

October 13, 2019 - Part of a 2005 vintage wine dinner. For many the wine of the night. My second favorite. Bold and deep. CellarTracker shows drinking window closing but I’d say it should hold up further but why wait. Drinking fabulous right now.

October 1, 2014 - One of my absolute favourites! Price/Quality-rate is exceptionel. Elegant and smooth it goes well with e.g. grilled lamb

August 8, 2010 - Bought at the domaine. First of a six pack (bottle no. 1575). Dark colour. Lovely baked earth nose. Pretty intense and black fruited nose. Surprisingly light on it's feet but rather drying finish. Much better later when the fruit and sweetness came out, along with clean clear notes of white pepper. Very tasty and a very serious Cotes du Rhone. Not a tannic beast, but no hurry for these either.
