Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend

Totally singing

Delicious - wish this was more available.

Olives and stony blueberries. Need more.

Far more green and stemmy than the 2012; still pretty fabulously textured though. Wish I had more 2012.

I love Jamet at all levels but this one did not show its best today. Bright black peppery tones but showed a bit one-dimensional.

I really wanted Aussie shiraz to cheer me up after the rugby, but this will have to do.

Floral, cherry cough drop, iron, silky but persistent tannins

shocker: classic Rhone producer, in a great vintage, makes a delicious wine. More refined than I expected; all kinds of awesome.

Takes a full hour before it shows you the love.... patience is rewarded. 13'

First time I had this, it was straight from the bottle and the wine was too tight. This time, it decanted for three hours and was so much softer and open. Tasted great. Elegant and less dense than the other syrahs of the evening... more red fruit than purple, and more meat and olives, than herbs
