August 5, 2015 - Past its prime but nonetheless pleasant. Very soft and mature.

February 25, 2008 - Good nose, initially without spiciness, more towards boiled vegetables (asparagus). The taste was ripe, good tannins, good structure, hints of raspberry - over time the peppery Syrah base comes through.
Compared to the last tasting we got a much better view on this wine. Maybe it is an acquired taste? -

November 16, 2007 - The nose is initially untypical for Rhone - no spiciness, instead broccoli and grape skins, but after a while coming together in a more expected way.
After a good start, the taste gets hollow, no middle. A great disappointment, even if it got slightly better after an hour. -

May 4, 2006 - Very aromatic, black cherry and chocolate, a hint of oak, still a bit tannic, nice long finish.
