  January 9, 2022 - Impeccable cork. Definite garnet although still clear and brilliant. Poured straight from the bottle - 5th bottle out of a 6 case and there is no benefit to decanting this wine in my experience. Nose is a heady peach initially before settling back into a more raw meat/ blood base. Plenty of dark bramble and sour cherry on the palate with some secondary hazelnut, iron and even dark chocolate. Tannins are well resolved and very fine. Nice finish but a little abrupt? Good wine - not a worldie for sure, and perhaps not one to be keeping more than a couple of years hence.

  July 23, 2021 - Perfectly fine, but not an absolute belter like the previous two bottles of this. Perhaps suffered from the weight of expectation?

  December 19, 2019 - Interesting comments before: there seems to be a pattern of underperformance, and I agree that it was slightly muted. Is this a function of the vintage, or possibly of the Chapoutier house style? Clearly good Cote Rotie, but lacking pzazz. I would love to compare with other vintages of the wine. Or perhaps it needs more time....?

  September 8, 2019 - Parret godt med hjortesteken, fått en god og rund frukt. Er nok på topp nå, og trenger dekantering.
