  Superbe cote-rôtie avec encore une belle fraîcheur et beaucoup de finesse. Il est complexe avec une ouverture sur les fruits noirs et une belle finale sur la réglisse. Ce vin est dans une belle fenêtre de consommation mais peut probablement tenir la route encore longtemps.

  Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - JM Gerin Dinner (Knickerbocker Club): One of my favorites in the younger group. This is a wine from mostly old vines and one of the classics of the Gerin estate. 100% syrah from schiste soil. It's got the brooding and darker notes and the brine and a hint of the metallic and overall quite nice. Would like more age on it so that it can develop a touch more nuance to it (see it a bit with the '01 we had later). Nice wine though.

  Loved it !! One of the highlights of Christmas for me. Long, reasonably silky, beautiful fruit. 2 hour decant, great fine structure, elegant, still good fresh acid (even for 2009) and nice fine balanced tannin.
  Fabulous. Drinking well however would be good to leave for another 3-5 years.

  Very very fine tannin. Chocolate, coffee and slight liquorish with blueberry and strawberry. Very fine tannin. Good but not great, however lovely balance. Minor Southern Rhone funk. Another couple of years would help.

  Hyper équilibré par rapport à la précédente bouteille bue il y a 1 an et demi. C'est maintenant ok, il peut être consommé! Très classe et parfumé. Ce Gérin est décidément très fort...!
