A decent bottle of wine especially with steak. Lots of pepper and a little fruit and alcohol on the nose. Rich red berries and spice on the mid palate, but a short alcoholic finish. I couldn't find much complexity but I pulled and poured.

Might be some bottle variation here. This was our 4th or 5th bottle over the past few months, and this one was all about spice. Drank over two nights, wife agreed. Not bad, just not as much fruit as in the past...but not short on pepper... Still good.

(Tardieu-Laurent Côtes du Rhône Villages Les Becs Fins) Dark, grapey, licorice nose; tasty, simple, a little hot, cherry and kirsch liqueur palate; medium finish

No notes, new years eve party at Andrew's. My impression was that this was very enjoyable for a $10 bottle of wine.

Another excellent bottle of this wine. Surprising complexity for a Cotes du Rhone.

Very pure, delicious Rhone fruit and spices. Simple, short, and sweet, drinking very well.
