This one is simply incredible. For 2010 amazingly developed, the cab franc is what makes the flavor profile at this point in time. — 11 years ago

Great wine! Had this wine about 2 years ago. It changed dramatically in the glass over the course of 45-60 minutes. Can't wait to open the other bottles in the future... Near future. :) — 12 years ago

2003- Don't be afraid of the vintage :) 80 Grenache knit beautifully w/ 20 Mourvedre. This was the precursor to VT's "Telegramme" bottling. Dark fruit & pronounced black pepper w/ a secondary savory/umami note. — 12 years ago

I need to drink more Rhone stuff. Starter suggestions?

Anthony Lombardi

Guigal makes well priced wines which show off the various appellations well. St Cosme too. Any Kermit Lynch imports. The Perrin family. In the Northern Rhone, Crozes-Hermitage & St Joseph are good appellations to start with as you can find great wines which are well priced. In the South, Cotes du Rhone & the various villages, Vacqueyras, Lirac, Corbieres, Ventoux. Gigondas will show more structured wines in the South.

Eventually work your way to Cote Rotie, CDP & Hermitage & weep for your wallet. :)

Thanks a lot!
