  Soft, rich and easy drinking. For a 2007, this was not as big and heady as I was expecting.

  I echo all the comments (on this and other vintages) complaining about the excess alcohol. WHY make a raspberry liqueur and sell it as wine? (It says it is 15 degrees, but I think that is an understatement). That said, I kept the last three bottles of my case to see what age did to it - and surprisingly it has genuinely improved and is now at least drinkable. Such a shame: the fruit was clearly top quality. The other question I ask is: when, in the heat of the Southern Rhone, is this meant to be drunk....?

  9/12/2018 - frenchlm Does not like this wine:

  Hot, unbalanced, and some syrupy kirsch. A real mess.

  Harsh tannins; heavy on the palate. Not a classy Côtes du Rhone.
  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are fast. There is light sediment in the bottle.
