Very drinkable with black fruit and smooth tannins. However, a bit disappointing. Lacks concentration. The best wines from Cairanne are highly concentrated and ripe. This one is not. It’s not bad, but there are better ones out there. 2015 vintage on Aug 10, 2018

Excellent Côtes du Rhône. Hints of blackberries and cassis. Black cherrie colour, noble taste and beautiful arms on the glass. Still very enjoyable the day after opening. Just a simple pleasure. XF

Great example of how smooth a Rhone can be. Fruity, smokey and delicious. Suggest steak, or a rich lamb dish.
