Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
This is the first of several benchmark wines I will be trying over the next several months. Lots of pepper and spice. Well integrated tannins with a lingering finish. Lovely.

Bad. So bad. Caustic and nauseating.

A fairly standard CDR. Neither good nor evil, quite the contrary! We will appreciate the consistency; we will regret the lack of character. On the other side of the world, a Frenchman will be happy to find a little home thanks to Guigal. In France we will find at least as well for the same price, at the local wine merchant.
Un côté du Rhône assez standard. Ni bien ni mal, bien au contraire! On appréciera la constance; on regrettera le manque de caractère. A l’autre bout du monde un français sera content de retrouver un peu de chez lui grâce à Guigal. En France on trouvera au moins aussi bien pour le même prix, chez le caviste du coin.
