  April 18, 2023 - It's not as good as a big tasty GSM blend, but for the price it's very good. Like a ripasso is to an amarone maybe?

  November 1, 2022 - Côtes du Rhône Reserve 2018, Perrin Famille
  Price: 12€
  Alc./vol. 14.5%
  Drunk: November 2022
  Rating: 86/100
  
  Pleasant, easy-drinking light to medium bodied red.
  Correct and pleasant but very little character or fruit.
  According to the Famille Perrin company's website this wine has a "beautiful deep ruby colour with purple undertones" - which is true enough. It then goes on to speak about the "intensity of red fruit, raspberry jam, spices and blackpepper."
  The cellar must have forgotten to bottle these qualities into the example I purchased.
  There is nothing intense about this wine: pleasant but instantly forgettable.
  Another prestigious winemaker resting on their laurels.

  March 24, 2022 - Deep ruby colour. Medium and developing nose with blackberry, black cherry, dark plum, cedar, tobacco and forest floor. Medium taste of blackberry, dark plum, tobacco and sweet spices. Medium long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Light tannins. Medium body. A very good Côtes du Rhône. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with duck or pork.

  March 2, 2022 - Good wine for the price. More savory than fruity. Good acid and minerality. Better with food than as a sipper.
