Weirdly tasted almost exactly like a Musar, two of us came to this conclusion independently. Must have been past it unfortunately. We still finished the bottle though, so not that awful.

Underwhelming. Pretty aromas of leather, red currents and toast. Palate shows a savory edge with very sour cherries, and an off putting persistent lean acidic streak, yet nicely spiced. Lacking in depth and comes across almost diluted. I’m guessing this was picked a bit early. Meh

Commanderie des Costes du Rhone - JM Gerin Dinner (Knickerbocker Club): Touch of brett on the nose although the wine itself was drinking well. Fun again to do the side by side with the younger vintage. Again here a bit of age seems to have added a touch more depth and nuance to the wine. Quite enjoyable. Will continue to keep an eye out for older ones of these.

A bit underwhelmed as wine lacked sense of place or personality. Wine lacked personality, presence/texture on the palate and a complexity on the palate. Nonetheless a decent wine with a meal in a very subtle, integrated wine.

What a great wine. Bright red fruits, integrated tannins. Wish I had a LOT more of this one.
