June 2, 2017 - Corked.
January 13, 2015 - Full immature. Well-balanced totally integrated with plenty of fruit still left and showing well.
December 5, 2014 - Fresh but mature. Age has given this more body than the typical CdR.
July 10, 2012 - A bit past its prime. Ripe kirsch and cherry liquor fruit, a bit jammy. Alcohol seemed a bit too prominent.
August 14, 2011 - Classic kirschwasser fruit with a hint of da funk and an overall slight glossiness that I'd suspect arises from oak treatment early in its life. Nice, decent CdR but nothing particularly revelatory. Still plenty of life left in it, too.
December 19, 2010 - Kinda funky for an hour then cherries and back palate finish
December 9, 2010 - Lovely wine. Very Rhône. Impressive result from Plan de Dieu and this in a very hot vintage. The vine is balanced, still quite fruity, spice with a string note of gamyness. I have had several bottles of this over the last five years, consisently good
July 15, 2009 - fruit is gone, no character remains
November 9, 2008 - Pop and pour...faded to the extent that after a glass, I went back to grab another bottle.
November 5, 2008 - Decanted and consumed. Not much complexity here or Rhone character, but quaffable.
