The nose on this is simply incredible. Exotic spiced plums with a strong black pepper note. Full bodied and showing the vintage, but in all the best ways. The plum & dark berry notes dance across the palate with silky, textured tannins which add haunting complexity. Absolutely beautiful.

Not the best of vintages but a solid wine and good quality all things considered. Red fruit mingling with that classic Chateauneuf-Du-Pape earthy-ness. I'm a fan of the producer so my rating may be slightly biased.

Still young and a bit closed. Wish was at full potential so could compare against some singing Rayas.

A lovely nose laden with garrigue, leather, sour red fruit and then on the palate a gorgeous, savory wine. This is delicious. After the 01's a much clearer, brighter and more profound wine. Lovely. Avoids the pitfalls of a lot of 07's, the heat and alcohol just right. Very in place.
