Dark red. Sage, earth, and dirty strawberry nose. Medium bodied, lots of spice, tangy cranberries, black cherries, a bit of heat, rustic tannins, and a medium to long finish. Well made and a great value.

Popped and poured. Dense red fruit, cinnamon spice, toasty char, and mint flavors. Tannins were fully integrated. Good flavor concentration and decent length.
This is a really solid, satisfying wine that is very much ready to drink right now. Can't see this one improving much going forward. Drink up!

Weekly tasting group #165; Rhône (@ RW): In the bouquet cherries, raspberries, herbs and spices as well as some laurel and oaky flavors. On the palate a lot of red and dark berry fruits, garrigue, a touch of sweetness, good acidity and tannin. Nice wine. Ready now and the next 3+ years.

First bottle from a new case and vintage. Still young, but fine. A medium purple-red, a little lighter than the last two vintages. Nose of geranium leaves, prunes, violets and fresh beef. In the mouth a little youthful and lighter in body than '09 and'10 but still a medium to full-bodied wine. In addition to the flavours above, rose petals; slightly sweet with supple tannin. Not as 'serious' as the last two vintages, drink younger.

Beautiful bouquet with herbs and spices, dark fruits and some salty licorice. Same impressions on the palate. Also good acidity and some pleasant sweetness and a touch of oak. Give it another year or two and it will drink nicely for a few more years. Really nice wine with a good qpr. 87+

Duften er meget kompliceret for en vin til 80 DKK. Men er endnu ikke faldet på plads. For meget alkohol. Lad os se om den falder ned om et par år. Smagen er for lidt for sød, men ikke fra frugten! Den frugt (ikke meget) der er i vinen kommer fra mørke bær. Kraftig (alkohol). Eftersmagen er medium til lang. Vent gerne 2 år. God flaske der sagtens kan blive bedre.

Violet colour. Cherries and raspberries on the palate. Smooth mouthfeel. Some tannins still to integrate. Should last another 5-10

Ingen fejl denne gang. Fint integreret alkohol. Masser af krydderi. Er blevet tæt på elegant (!).

Samme noter som sidst. Men ingen sødme denne gang omend E fangede noget karamel/kandis og møørk chokolade. Stadig alkoholtung.

More red fruit than the cote du rhone but still does the savory mineral salts thing on the palate. Yum. And works at very well at $21 or so.

Sunset Corners Rhone Tasting (Miami, FL): Very light flavors, almost like a watered down wine. Forward, fresh fruits. At $27 not a good QPR.
