2007 Domaine de Mourchon Côtes du Rhône Villages Séguret Grande Réserve
1/14/2012 - vjb wrote: 91 Points
After a 2 hour decant with grilled rack of lamb. First time trying the 07, seems softer than some of the past Mourchon grande reserves. Has a floral almost vanilla-y quaff as as others mention. Very smooth, but lacking some of the teeth gripping tannins of the other vintages. Delicious wine none the less. I have 11 bottles left - will try to finish them in the next 2 years or so.

Started off with some funkyness that blew off after 20-30mins. Had a smooth, red fruit taste, but really lacks any tannins or depth. As the night went on almost seemed to get thinner. Might be a sign it's past it's peak? For $15 worth it as a nice weekday drinker, but don't think you're geting a complex bottle of wine.

2009 Domaine La Guintrandy Côtes du Rhone Villages Visan Le Devés

Maybe young, but just seemed like nothing there. Smooth and fruity, but no real backbone. New world style, none of that true rhone taste.
