  Decanting recommended for 60-90 mins
  No sediment
  Excellent fill level
  
  The 2 bottles that were tasted to date did not have the unbalanced acidity that is widely reported, however I would never say that the wine is more firm and straight than plush and generous. Not exactly surprising for the appellation, nor the winemaker.

  April 12, 2020 - Déçu par ce vin bu le jour de Pâques.
  Un nez plutôt agréable, sur des notes de petits fruits rouges.
  Mais la bouche est plate, sans relief, l'alcool l'emporte sur le reste. On dirait plus un bordeaux de moyenne facture qu'un Côte Rotie.

  May 14, 2018 - Fresh. Vibrant. Crisp. Still young. Just starting to enter its secondary phase. I enjoyed this wine and would buy again. Unfortunately it had a lot of sediment and the waitress did a terrible job of decanting, so my advice is to decant properly for a smoother exierience.
  
  I have to disagree with some of the previous reviewers. I found this a nice wine in a good spot and would certainly drink again.

  August 24, 2010 - Very disappointing indeed. Thin and sour. This was a wine that i was looking forward to - now it looks as though I might have left it too long, though there was little residue of fruit and I wonder whether it was ever any good.
