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.

I discovered this fine Syrah on AF — 6 years ago
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
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. — 8 years ago
Lovely, easy drinking chard semillon blend — 8 years ago
Nice mature well balanced. Earthy with dark fruit, garrigue and soft tannins. — 5 years ago
Their was an earthiness where I was expecting meat and pepper. Still extremely good and with great depth. — 5 years ago
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 — 7 years ago
