Not finding the value in this wine. It's a poor CdR, which I normally like. It's green on the nose and early pallette. Fruit is saturated and extracted with some heat and menthol that lingers through the finish. Pour this for your quaffing buddies. I didn't read through my earlier note or rating, as I knew my pallette was a bit tired at that tasting. Funny that my comments are quite consistent. If you have this wine. Give it away this holiday season.

Gave away to a friend who then popped and poured. Overly extracted mess with some heat and phantom effervescence . I will pull a bottle and write better notes later.

Far better than the average C.du R. Much more complex on nose and palate and opening up well as the meal progressed. For me, this has the edge on the much loved Guigal C. du R.

Nice drinking wine. Smooth and flavorful, even without a pairing.

Fairly dark crimson purple. A fruity yet elegant, classy cotes du rhone. Fantastic value
