Clear ruby. Red fruit, licorice and Christmas spice on the nose. The palate is in perfect balance between precision and power, displaying the fruit and sweet spice in full force, ending in a lingering finish. This is excellent.

Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - Fall 2022 Intronization (Aquavit): Very lovely wine. Probably the best CdP that I had at the dinner (there was a 90 Rayas but I didn't get to try that one). This is firm red fruits and spices and a kindof classiness to it that is just great.

Pop and pour. From the bottle, this was so much like burgundy. Elegant and feminine. Looked so pale in the glass. With air, this added so much weight. And became so full bodied, and also deep and dark in the glass. Hard to think this was from the 80s. Lots of structure. Lots of licorice. Brilliant wine. From TL

This was the ultimate example of southern Rhône…. Sophisticated doesn’t come close to describing a near perfect experience ….no real signs of aging

Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - Spring 2023 Kick-off (Gabriel Kruether): Another contender for WOTN. This was just lovely. Red fruits and very well structured and balanced with that Bonneau power but also the Bonneau finesse. Beautiful.
