Nose is floral/tropical.
Palate is honey and cantaloupe.
As this opens its quite elegant. Not a great wine. But as the English would say lovely. Palate has apricot pits and almost diluted honey. Not an in your face honey. But an elegant one.

Good dark fruit flavors, finishes velvety and smooth. Slight acidic notes and could use more body — 6 years ago
Citrus, but not too sweet, which was very nice and allowed an underlying mineral tone to come through. Paired extremely well with a thermidor sauce on seafood, cutting right through it and pastry puff. Use to balance a rich heavy cream dish. — 7 years ago

Traditional, refreshing N. Rhone syrah. — 8 years ago
Great example of savoury Syrah. Notes of chicken liver, foie gras, leather, olive, and herbs. Good, but not as exciting on the palate as the nose. On the lighter side of full bodied with balanced acidity. Fantastic wine with food. Try with beef or lamb stew. — 8 years ago
Surprisingly good, and as clearly northern Rhone syrah as any wine can be. It has the strong fruit and the floral complexity, but remains smooth on the palette and well balanced. — 5 years ago
Fruity, medium bodied, easy to drink. Pairs well with meat and cheese.

18.5/20 (96/100) Вино с чрезвычайно насыщенным и сложным ароматом с нотами спелых чёрных ягод, чернослива, разнообразных специй и шоколада. Тельное с довольно высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, бархатистыми танинами. Концентрированно-ягодное во вкусе. Послевкусие продолжительное. Молодо. Мощно. Великолепно.

2016 vintage. Dark red. Black fruit, fresh herbs and a tarry hint, still holding back but obvious underlying complexity. Ripe blackberry and cassis, good focus and fresh acidity, refined tannin and an overall sense of harmony. Cave de Tain is probably the best co-operative in France and this is another fine showing. Good value for Hermitage at about 36 euro. — 5 years ago

Their was an earthiness where I was expecting meat and pepper. Still extremely good and with great depth. — 5 years ago
