Last bottle of a summer dinner- no decant. 2nd tasting of this vintage & much more expressive than the first. Throws Brett a decent amount & imagine some might prefer a substantial decant, though I like the funkiness. Fine toothed &a lovely grainy, slightly chewy texture & rather elegant; cassis, black currant, smoked beef jerky, & black cherry on palate & nose. Not complex at this stage but who needs it given the enjoyment factor. Post meal ( or probably blended into the end) of grilled BBQ chicken, French lentilsw labneh, & local tomato salad. There goes summer… — 4 months ago

QPR banger! Aromatic nose of flowers and spices, sandalwood, violets, and dried cherry. Really splendid, notice a different layer with every sip! — 3 months ago
Instantly likeable. Was a friend's introduction to Cotes due Rhone and it did not disappoint. A good example of the wine region. — 3 months ago
Excellent, well balanced, not too dry and not too sweet — 4 months ago
Going through the old stash, drinking nicely. Earthy but light on its feet, complexity just enough to make it interesting with mature dark red fruit notes and medium finish. — 6 months ago
