    May 5, 2013 - Ruby with some bricking on the rim. Explosive cherry nose. Not a lot of fruit on the palate. Some blackberry with mostly leather, charcoal and herbs d' provence. A nice CDR that drank well with burgers and short ribs on the grill at home.

    March 21, 2013 - Notes of garrigue, leather, bramble, tabacco and provençal herbs come across the palate. The fruit is holding up nicely. Very nice Côtes du Rhône for current drinking.

    March 12, 2013 - The wine is a ruby color with some bricking at the edge. Notes of leather, bramble, garrigue and provençale herbes dominate the palate. Overall, a very mature Côtes du Rhône that is very nice to drink right now. Drink up!
