Decent and pleasing Rhône, simple and easy to drink, surprisingly (to me) for the first 30 minutes or so after opening, the tannins carried a bitter and tough edge that dissipated.

May be shutting down a bit? ... or bottle variation. The flavors were a bit muted but tannins were present. Still enjoyable, but not as good as it was 6 months or so ago.

Dark purple. Expressive nose of sweet cherry jam. Very ripe palate of strawberries and other red fruit up front. It gets a little thin in the middle but comes on again towards the finish with a little metallic earth along with the jammy fruit. Ripe, modern style.

This was the second bottle after a very nice Pinot so scoring is hard. Medium body with more fruit and less earth/ meat-ness as other 2007 CdR that I have had. Not bad but there may be better CdR choices at this price point. Better notes on the next bottle and will give it a little time to breath on opening.
