Juicy rhone red - YUM!! Bright raspberry red apple fruit frontal. Back door glides easy with softer spiced apples and young cherry flavors. Thanksgiving wine on steroids. A celebratory and lively selection. If I could afford to drink this as my everyday red, I would! www.freerunjuicewine.com — comment and tag me if you would like a discount code! Cheers friends!

On the tired side but still producing ample gravel and bruised black fruit. Drink up.

Great example of why Southern Rhône wines are so delicious. Peppery and juicy, luscious red fruits with enough tannic backbone to keep things in line.

WOW!
Great wine that held the test of time.
My friend surprised me with this 1996.
I was not expecting much to from this offer. Full of currant (black) lively acidity! On top of the fruit fell it is full and tasty. The wine showed a bit agi ng color the nose reflected smokiness, coffee moka,peppermint. Very surprising...

Rich dark fruit Giongdas. Well balanced and a bit of age makes this like an instant summer vacation

Solid Gigondas. Classic flavors, red fruit, scorched earth, aromatic wood spice. Very approachable now, tannins are almost supple.

Pure Rhone. The medium plus to high tannins on the backend would suggest this wine could sit easily for 10 more years
