A spicy and fruity CdR, well balanced with a bit of earthy funk, a bit of heat and sweetness, soft tannins, X-mas spices and more red than black fruits. Still showing well (last bottle must have been flawed), but wouldn't wait too long. An easy drinking high quality CdR. - 88 points

Very bright black currant nose - so volatile that it seems it must be throwing off alcohol but I otherwise don't sense it; Juicy black currant palate; Quite tasty

Spicy and smoky wine with acidic red berry fruit, soft tannins. A rather basic Cotes du Rhone. But there seems to be a cork taint with this bottle. - flawed

This is a very special wine: like a mini-Beaucastel. Great value given it's style. Suggest you don't crack it open for a couple of years.
