4th of 12. Drinking nicely and not has developed as expected from previous review, still some primary fruit and classic cote rotie spiciness. A light easy drinking wine but smooth and well balanced. 3+/5

3rd of 12. Mature with meaty farmyard nose. Spicy palate with some warm mellow plum and cherry still remaining. Has Cote Rotie elegance with power but for me it is not a big wine and the relatively high alcohol level makes it a little unbalanced. Nice length. 4/5

Medium ruby, with orange tints. Medium intense nose with raspberry fruit, earthy barnyard and a hint of floral freshness. Medium bodied. Mostly savoury palate with red and black fruits. Soft integrated tannins. Good refreshing acidity. Lacks a little for length and intensity. Drinking well now. Probably at best now, but will keep for further 4-5 years.

Mature, elegant and refined. Most of the fruit has faded but it still has a great structure.

Very fine. Restrained but savoury, this is firmly in its drinking window. Pleased we were able to share with friends.
