Dark ruby colour, some fine sediment. Red and dark fruit, red cherry, blackberry, herbs, light chocolate, spices, some vanilla, a hint of coconut, light gaminess, some smoke, and light slate-like minerality, with medium(+) acidity and good length. 100% new oak shows in the wines creaminess and spiciness. Good balance and complexity in the context of the style, at least on day one. By day two the oak was very prominent and bitter, and the wine seemed disjointed. This wine did not win me over, too oak-driven for my liking. Drink or hold.

Velvety, dark toned nose, the palate is full and rich filled with black fruits, peppery black olives, herbs and sea breeze. There is an ebb and flow of briny flauvors which, at times, may feel a bit over bearing. The good acidity brings freshness and Norther Rhone character. The finish is subtle but nicely lengthy. Good and enjoyable now and has some years left in it.

Best northern Rhone I have had so far. Blueberry, truffle, chocolate, leather, white pepper, rosemary. Drink now or 3-5 years from now. Would work very well with Lamb.

This was a beauty!! PnP and just got nicer with steak frites as the night went. Had the rest of it 4 nights later stored in the fridge and it was tremendously improved which indicates to me it can still go a ways.

2007 France Trip - Cheze, Faury, Ferraton, Coursodon (Northern Rhone): Barrel sample. Showing lots of oak. Pure, fresh black cherry fruit. Beautiful purity, elegance, finesse, and concentration. Minerality galore. Delicious and very promising.
