April 27, 2024 - So so good for its level- a sense of ripeness and clarity, pretty floral tones and saturated dark berries, some coffee and pepper. A Northern-leaning Côtes du Rhône but with nice pulpy Grenache character offering easy appeal. Nicely concentrated fruit on the palate, cherry and raspberry with a hint of bitterness and gently claggy tannins building on the finish. Total secret weapon wine- delicious, great with a range of foods (spot on with Turkish and steak) and cheap as chips

September 1, 2023 - A cut above the usual Cotes du Rhone. Lovely red and black fruits with a herbal touch, giving way to spice and oaky warmth. Nicely integrated - good now, could improve - but I’m impatient.
