Year: 2010

Wine Shop Review: It is very concentrated for a Cotes du Rhone, and is actually an amazing wine. Classic garrigue, black cherry liqueur, lavender, licorice and spice box are all present in this fullbodied, intense, and rich Cotes du Rhone. This is a sensational effort to drink over the next 4-5 years, although it might last even longer.

My Review: There were cherry and blackberry notes to this wine on its nose. It hard a soft tannnic structure to it and had a smooth mouth-feel with a slightly sweet finish to polish of the wine.

I tasted this wine by itself.
