Really rich and ripe and full bodied. Not my style. While the fruit is ripe, it is not too ripe and still has red and black fruit aromas and flavors. #roussillon #cotesderoussillon #france

Very interesting Rhone. Great recommendation from Jess. Funky nose and restrained palate.

Love this wine - lush, rich but also fresh berries.

Plummy, thick black fruit, with a hint of sage. Paired well with Montreal spiced NY strip.

Nice wine with leftover pot roast. Almost seemed like we were in the South of France.

Inky opaque no sign of age - nose of blue fruit & Garrigue herbs, mint, but not as dense or concentrated as I would prefer. Decent acidity and tannins but lacked perfect balance. Played well with grilled lamb and sausage.

Big inky and brooding. New world save for the sanguine quality, chewy dark berry and mineral. Nowhere near its peak!

I thought this was lovely. The tannins were smooth and velvety. Delicious and robust but not overly inspiring in flavour.
