Dark and sexy. Intense Syrah with a brooding iron quality and juicy blue fruit. A whiff of high tone then thyme and sage. More bloody than the 11. Great

Decanted for a hour and blinded. Exotic fruit, not Burgundy but overlapping aromas of prunes, raisins, liquorice, black fruit, and leafy. Cool and elegant. Perhaps a combination of makers touch and vintage? Hard to believe this is Rhone but only one producers style comes to mind. One of Reynaud's estates. Guessed Pignan! Becomes darker and more one dimensional after a while.

A stunner. More density and structure than the already gorgeous CdR 10.

This is a personal favorite of mine which I chose to serve at the head table of my retirement dinner. Bright red fruit a touch of anise black pepper. A $ 60-65 bottle that performs like a $ 100 bottle
