Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. Black plastic cork; the standard for Dard et Ribo. The 2015 “Les Rouges des Baties” pours a deep, dull ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of wild black brambles, oil cured olive, roasted meat, purple flowers, black pepper, a mix of organic and inorganic earth and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. An utterly beautiful expression of Crozes-Hermitage and this worked really well with goose from South Dakota. I’m smitten. Drink now through 2035. — 5 hours ago

Medium dark rubi robe, nose of spices, dark cherries and crushed flowers. Medium bodied, good balance and tension, anise and dark cherries, very good drinking now, but will be better in 3 to 5 years. — 4 months ago

This is lovely, needed an hour of air and warming up. Good fruit, acidity, stone, lemons, hint of bread and almonds. Would get again at this price. I like le mesnil better though. — a month ago

At 10.5% abv, this is both thirst-quenching and austere, with the Chenin providing just enough ripeness of fruit to bring things into balance. 750 mL will be easily finished by one person, so unless you’re drinking alone, buy at least two bottles — 6 months ago
