Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - Fall 2022 Intronization (Aquavit): More fruity and a bit floral. My initial impression was a bit offputting coming on the heels of the northern Rhone but as I went back to it I found it a lot more interesting. More restrained in style than the other CdPs. You can get the age on it. It's probably just about in the right window.

Popped and poured, this really hits the spot. Round, warm, sweet, spicy, soft, then vintage is handled so very well. Has it really been five years, since we drank this in the sun up north? #PB&S

One of my personal favorites at an over the top tasting. The 98 Charvin is a legend in the making with all the pieces of warm red to dark fruits, spice, balanced acidity and length/persistence fitting nicely together

Really good. Expansive aromatics of provencial apice and sandalwood. Palate is fresh but still has mature fruit notes and fine tannin. Strong finish really makes this a great CdP. No heat to speak of.

Conforme à ce que l'on peut atttendre, donc très bien. Toutefois, à mon goût, il faut l'attendre encore pour qu'il se fonde plus en espérant que la puissance s'atténuera.
