Finally an excellent Cotes Du Rhone with character. Traditional, with great depth and grip. Very much it's own wine, unlike the usual CRD selection we typically get here in Ontario. A really welcome change. Great with any summer BBQ, especially burgers, steak.

Re-tasted Nov 2016, this bottle really impressed me. Super CdR, seemed to me a superior bottle than the one I had several weeks ago - more open and generous. Excellent.

Original note:
A slightly leaner style of CdR than many, less overtly fruity with more savoury flavours. Very dry and a bit tight and austere at the moment, but displays a complex array of flavours. I'd suggest giving this a year or two to mellow, my score may be a bit conservative. Tasted Oct 2016.

Was really looking forward to this wine but found it overly acidic for my liking. Not sure if I got a bad bottle.
