Never had a corked bottle so not sure what it could be like but this bottle could be it. The color and aroma was fine and actually the cork seemed to be in good shape. Given the reputation of the 2010 Rhone wines, this was a severe disappointment. Luckily the only one. Very sour and acidic, undrinkable. Used it as Drano.

Advertized as a 90 point wine at Costco. Not so much. Pretty average one dimensional red. Not particularly objectionable, but no really outstanding qualities either. Not 90 pts, for sure.

Good, a bit tight. Nice quality cotes du rhone but you can do better for this price IMO.

Seems a bit extracted. Tannic. dark fruit.

I liked this more this last time I drank it. It seems that every a little time in the cellar has helped soften its rather course texture.
