April 30, 2024 - I believe there was only one bottle in inventory and another was added erroneously.
March 30, 2024 - Faded rim, red colour with some purple.
Red cherry, strawberry and raspberry , spice, cinnamon,
Soft on the palate, just a little tannin, lots of fruit and freshness, lovely texture.
Lovely wine. Punches well above its lowly appellation.
January 21, 2024 - From magnum. Very nice straight out of bottle but better with some air. Elegant fruit, fresh, nice balance. I prefer to drink it (and most southern rhones) on the cool side (eg 15-16c).
December 9, 2023 - Some slight browning visible in the glass and there is mushroom, forest floor and herbs on the palate. This is complex and delicious - although I also think this drinks really well when young. I have had a few very enjoyable 16s over the last 3 years or so. This continues to be amazing value for money
July 23, 2023 - Complex for Côtes du Rhône. Cherry and brambles on front end with more blackberry and herbs on backend. But nicely integrated for lovely experience
April 25, 2023 - Lacks the intensity of earlier bottles; drinkable but softer and imprecise. Drank half; leftovers the next day were pfffft. Drink up.
March 24, 2023 - Funky aromas of forest flow and mushroom, flint. Dry-off dry, full of black fruit, licorice, vay leave and pepper. Nice and full body. Lovely to enjoy once opened.
On the 2nd night the wine was an unctuous bomb of black fruit and spice deliciousness. Suave and rich.
At this moment in time, and for that price, this is outstanding.
Decant and aerate for at least 2 hrs.
March 21, 2023 - Full black and red fruits, predominately cherry and raspberry, arrayed against a spicy finish that lingers. Down a notch from the last outing, but still a lovely wine.
February 2, 2023 - Popped and poured.
January 17, 2023 - Dark small berry fruit with some Smokey notes. Improved a couple days after opening.
