Réserve de l'Abbé Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend

Very smooth Rhône red blend with black fruit notes and mild tannin, served with rack of lamb in Naples, Florida (WSJ)

Really nice. Had with oyster meal.

On the nose floral
Palate is pineapple and lemon
It has a dry finish

Color of different shades of purple, a bit cloudy. Nose of Sprite, spice, ripe grape almost like grape juice, and some more dried strawberry. Taste of ample acidity, good amount of tannins, refined sweetness from dark fruits, and some salty mineral. Aftertaste is reminder of the taste, medium long with some more tea or flowering note, some pepper. Not a big fan of the nose, but the taste is actually pretty good.

Fruit-driven character on this #cotesdurhone, cassis and bramble berry up front, finishes with some toffee and vanilla notes, plenty of acididty and a long finish with lingering tannins. It's a bit thin at the end and missing some herbs and spice to make things more interesting. #wsjwineclub **Update: just this week I’ve been enjoying this wine a glass a day and it just keeps going like the Energizer Bunny, virtually no oxidation and it’s opened up more with a longer finish. Rhône blends like this continue to surprise and impress me.

Beautiful. Bursts of red fruit and cranberry.

Not worth drinking
