Definitely in its last phase, but still holding up nicely. Mature, slightly barnyard nose. Fruit is no longer dominant, has ceded to complex aroma's of wet pebbles, red meat, thyme. Good finish. Drink up in the next year or two, I'd say.

Very nice Rhône wine, still ging strong at age 5. Mature colour but no bricking. Not a very expressive nose, menthol, thyme. Nice fresh attack, flinty taste, red fruit. Medium-length finish. Well balanced. Given its age, this is loosing the fruity components and entering a more mineral phase, but is is not tired at all. Interesting to follow over the next couple of years. And great value too.

Superb wine with an unbeatable QPR. Totally ready to go, probably best this year or next. Very nice CdR aromatics, soft plush mouthfeel and a long soft finish. Love it.

Good quality CdR, good QPR. Full-bodied yet elegant, smooth and some depth, and, most important of all, a bit of freshness as well. Very drinkable. Will easily keep 2-3 years more.
