First Wednesday Wine Club (Francobollo, Haberfield): "Served blind. Wood glue, red fruit; raspberry, sweet spice, aa little farmyard. Juicy, red fruit, bretty, slightly dilute, textured burr, funky, fun. I got to France but thought this might be from Jura; a Trousseau or Poulsard?"

Pretty savory with hints of funky barnyard, as well as some blood/iodine. The iodine becomes stronger on the nose as the night progresses. Pretty smooth on the palate, with some sweet fruit, violets, and some sous bois -- still some fine tannins in the background, and a slight bitterness in an otherwise pleasant finish.

Vivid red-violet color. Distinctive nose, iron, raspberry, black pepper. On arrival, low tannin and medium acidity. Touch of sweetness in the mouth, suggests some whole cluster nouveau Beaujolais style lots.

Dumien-Serrette (RSJ, London): Blond. Nose slightly iron-tinged but quite mellow. Fresh, good acidity. Mid palate texture, nicely rounded with good bright and ripe r d fruit. Discussion around table seems to be new world, but I can't see anything that would take me out of Cornas really. Certainly not beyond northern rhone. Possibly a little easier than the others, but it works for me. Quite a lot here. ****
