July 14, 2013 - Very evolved and concentrated nose of brown sugar, loads of ripe black fruit, loads of roasted meat, really great mature nose... Very sappy ripe red cherries, nice acidity, quite long aftertaste, a revelation cotes du Rhone!!
October 22, 2010 - big fruit nose, tarry, slightly sickly volatility. very rich mouth, heavy black fruit and spicy wood. nice but overblown. no coudoulet
May 21, 2010 - Tasty, but not particularly elegant. To drink now or in the next few years.
October 25, 2009 - Cherry somewhat to predominantly in this CdR, giving it an overall very sweet taste. For me balance is a bit off, too overwhelming after a few glasses
March 4, 2009 - A lot of dark cherries and some hints of cassis on the nose and a lot of cassis in the aftertaste. Medium bodied but very well balanced. Some tannins left but not bitter at all
April 25, 2008 - Typical, nose of ripe black cherries, black berries and licorice... the mounth is again full of black cherries with a long aftertaste, some ripe tannins but very well integrated
May 10, 2007 - 2007 France Trip - Pegau, Pierre Usseglio, Monpertuis, Vieux Telegraphe, Dinner w/ Philippe Cambie (Southern Rhone): Moderate black fruits. Ash. Slightly green.
