  At home dinner with friends. This wine brought to dinner by friends is a reminder of the lovely Rion wines of the 90s which while not attaining the highest levels of their appellations provided lovely fruit and complexity reflecting their origins. The colour was deep and the nose was a rich compote of red and dark berry fruits with touches of spice and stony earth. The palate has that classic Rion gentle ball of fruit that builds nicely in the mouth giving way to some interesting spice and stone notes that persist with the fruit to create a fine impression.

  Agree with Gapenomad,s review. Drinking well at such an early stage with lots of upside to this wine.

  Moderate ruby in the glass. Big nose, fruit-driven, but there is some subtle oak spice in the background as well. This vintage seems somewhat generous and is superbly backed up by really bright acidity and just a lick of tannins. I see this going strong for a decade or two easily.

  Clear transparent ruby with purplish hues
  Lovely nose shows violets, chocolate and some cloves
  Concentrated palate with a long finish. Full of fruity tannins that gives this a lot of potential... Will need a good few years.
