  Medium plus nose shows pedigree, black fruit layers, rose petal, fresh game, earth tones. Palate is just terrific, concentrated fruit layers with balance, medium plus body that doesn't knock you over, nice complexities in the finish. Mostly primary now but showing slight aged components. Buy a case and revisit over and over.

  Beautiful fruit, nice depth and fine winemaking here by the Chapoutiers of Rhone, and will surely improve further over the next 5 years.
  
  Chose this Northern Rhone for our blind bottles dinner as I thought no one would guess.. Ed guessed Grenache, but JY was closest with Crozes-Hermitage!
  
  Did a full decant in a large and wide flask, for nearly 2 hours, this opened up the blue flower aromas, as well as lovely cassis and light smoke palate. Very fine tannins.
  
  Minerality on the medium-long finish. Top 3 WOTN (even if I have to compliment my own bottle!), at our early Father's Day Extra Supertanker gathering. One of 11 bottles in all, joined by Mika, JY, Ed, Stan, Kelvin and surprise guest Alfred too.
  
  Fairly priced at USD 80, but lacks the full enjoyment and potential at this early stage. Beautiful fruits, great mouthfeel. But I would wait till 2027 onwards for the full impact of this Chapoutier!

  Eðalklúbburinn rúllar um Rónardalinn.; 5/23/2022-5/27/2022 (10 vínhús og ein súkkulaðigerð heimsótt í norður og suður Rónardalnum.): Meðaldökkur litur. Í ilmi útihús, skán úr fjárhúsi. Svo koma svört kirsuber, rauðrófur. Þarna voru líka blóm, ilmvatn og dökk sulta. Svolítil vonbrigði með bragðið á víninu eftir mjög flottan ilm sem lofaði góðu. Það var svo frekar þunnt og framþungt. Þokkalegt jafnvægi. Tannínin svolítið áberandi. Viður og rabarbari.

  Elegant, aromatic nose of rose - almost pinot-like. Mid-weight elegant balance of red fruit, with hints of forest floor. Persistent finish and moderate complexity, drink now through 2026.
