  July 3, 2016 - Something was very wrong, this seemed like a pretty good Cote du Rhone, but there was nothing to indicate Cornas.

  April 24, 2015 - Color: Ruby with a rose colored meniscus
  Smell: Oil-cured black olives, mulch, blueberries, pencil shavings, and white pepper
  Taste: blackberry, pepper, blueberry, beef jerky, and mushroom.
  Overall: Excellent - Outstanding in quality...certainly a steal at the $16 price tag I paid. Med+ body, high acidity, med+ fruit, and med+ tannin. Good now but this will likely be better in 2-4 years. With good storage drink now-2023.

  May 13, 2011 - Beautiful and intense bouquet with good cherries and licorice. Same on the palate. Good concentration. Beautiful already, and will continue to be for the next 5+ years.
