I liked it. Red fruits (especially strawberry) on the nose and palate. Grippy tannins. Also on the palate are mineral and kalamata olives. Betsy didn't like it and claimed that it had a barnyard component that I couldn't detect.

This is as good a CdR as I've had in a long time. Beautiful weight in the mouth. Spicy, fruit-filled but not overripe. A bit of smoke. What a great BBQ wine this would be! This was vacu-vined and put in fridge overnight. Maybe even better on day 2. A very high-quality wine for this kind of price. And a producer that rarely misses.

14,0% alc. tintenfarbig, undurchsichtig, volle, weiche Frucht, schwarze und blaue Beeren, auch Kräuter, weich und einladend, aber auch genug Struktur, nicht lasch, deutliche Tannine, kleben sich an die Zähne, belebende Säure, leicht bittere Noten im Abgang, noch sehr jung. Ich glaube der Wein wird in ein paar Jahren noch wesentlich besser. In diesem Stadium 87+

A good cotes du rhone. Herbs and red / dark fruits. Good weight, balance and finish.
