Really good esp for 02. Classic syrah of meat, grilled notes, burning embers, spice, pepper. Just lacks the depth of the great vintages. Great producer, bad vintage and wine is still very good.

A great effort for a throw away vintage. I've only had 2 wines from 02 Rhone that I felt were good - this and an Allemand Cornas. Good complexity and nuance here. Meat, grilled notes, spices, pepper, garrigue with solid structure and ripeness. Good red berries as well. A very nice Cote-Rotie that has plenty left in the tank.
