September 22, 2019 - A nice wine, but more on a par with a quality St Joseph than the quality Cote Rotie it aspires to be.

July 12, 2013 - Drank this in a traditional lyon restaurant, so it was popped and poured. It is still young and tight and could have done with some time in a carafe but it opened up nicely during the meal. It is smooth with lots of fruit but to be honest lacked the interest I had hoped for. Overall a solid performance and if you have some give it time to mature.
