solomania9's Review:

Fruity hot nose. Medium bodied and chalky in the mouth with a bright acidic finish.

solomania9's Review:

Sharp cherry nose. Complex but nondescript in the mouth with medium body and bright cherry fruit.

solomania9's Review:

Sumptuous nose of menthol and eucalyptus which carries over into the mouth with grand tannic cherries and an encore of the medicinal eucalyptus on the finish. Damn sophisticated.

solomania9's Review:

Big nose of spicy complex berries. One of the leanest mouthfeels I can recall - but in the good way. Huge black cherries and a delicate elegant finish.

solomania9's Review:

There's a very soft apricot party in my mouth and you're invited. Syrupy sweet with a little chalkiness on the palate. Nice gently prickly finish. Very enjoyable.

solomania9's Review:

Sweet zinny nose. Medium bodied grainy fruit with an acidity that peaks and fades quickly. Enjoyable.

solomania9's Review:

Musty meat on the nose. Leathery but mellow mealy spice with candied orange and and bitter herbs on the finish (good call on the finish, GDP).

solomania9's Review:

Rich dark bloody nose. Full bodied dark fruits in the mouth with mild pepper and a gentile finish. A great wine for the price.

solomania9's Review:

Bright cherry nose. Big powdery dry flavor - pure France. A textbook and enjoyable Cotes du Rhone.
