Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - JM Gerin Dinner (Knickerbocker Club): My WOTN but perhaps because I appreciate the extra depth that a wine can get with some age and this was the oldest we had by a bit. Interesting because the younger version of this wine came across to me as very fruit forward. This still had that fruit which I appreciated but much more in balance and the brine was just starting to come through more. Drinking very nicely.

A positive surprise for the vintage. Blackberry, oak, fresh pepper, herbs and spearmint on the nose. Fully mature, this wine ends with black cherry and kirsch flavors.
