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. — 4 years ago

Love this white blend (Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Rousanne and Clairette). Great complement to a salad topped with Peri Peri marinated shrimp. Refreshing and easy drinking with a light acidity and lots of minerality. Only issue is it’s easy to drink too quickly 😬 — 6 years ago

Great complex pet nat from a very interesting producer. Bone dry with fine bubbles that dissipate almost immediately. Great to drink as an aperativo. — 5 years ago

Red Plum skins, black cherry, arugula. Still fresh and gamay’ish. Nice weight as it warms. Super nice balance. Nice tannic quality and while still retaining the freshness/juiciness of a Gamay. — 3 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. — 4 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.

Bought from fass selections. — 4 years ago

First, best cork design ever. And agreed with the joy of the little dude on it. Some nice aging notes—caramel, woodsy honey, almost a sherry tinge—with ripe stone fruit, lemon. Fruit’s fading with age, but still lovely... Christmas brunch! — 6 years ago
