    Last noted briefly at a Trevallon vertical in 2008, and showing remarkably similarly today, albeit more strongly. Mid garnet; green olive brine on the nose with just the faintest breeze of garrigue giving it a gentle complexity and interest. Initially quite light on the palate, but puts on some weight after half and hour or so, and shows a nicely medium bodied, mature southern Rhone character. Finishes well. Tannins are fully resolved and dissolved, and this is structured by its acidity. Mature and lovely. Holds well over the 90mins or so the bottle is open. ***1/2

    Great bottle of mature wine. Great nose of olives, red berries and gaminess. This drank like an older italian Barolo with the great acidity it possessed. Medium plus finish. I could see this holding on for another few years yet. Overall this was a fascinating wine to drink.

    Domaine de Trevallon (Rouge) Offline (Alba, London): Mid garnet; quite spicy nose, some garrigue. Still quite fresh and together, then starts to fade a little with acidity coming to the fore, but still very decent for an 84. Lovely nose. Getting a bit thinner and acidic after being open for an hour. **1/2 with a ***1/2 nose. After a bit longer this develops an interesting coffee-cream nose that then intensifies to ridiculous proportions - just like sniffing a synthetic coffee-cream choc. This is less endearing.
