Quite deep ruby garnet. Takes a bit of time to get going on the nose , then cassis , black plum , dark cherry , a slightly herbal, earthy, black pepper notes . On the palate quite round , with more dark fruits , earthy sous bois , and a spicy herbal touch , menthol finish . Nice balanced acidity and with rounded , ripe tannins with ok length . Drinking perfectly now and will drink well for another 5-8 years — 4 months ago

Quite austere, maybe a few years past its prime, nose redolent of Grenache, but palate very restrained, reminiscent of faded fruit. Quite tannic actually. J says you can really sense the “vielles vignes”. Very good but would love to try something newer, maybe a 2015 — 8 months ago

A whiff of high quality Syrah which goes without saying. More savoury than fruit driven and at 8 years, leathery. A trace of oak. Not near as fruity as high quality Australian Shiraz. Cornas - Earlier maturing than Hermitage on the opposite bank and to the north. — 16 days ago
