Great for the price — 3 months ago
Superb showing, mamy years ahead of it but the Viallière tannin has softened considerably. Rich and dense as expected given the vintage yet very regal and elegantly textured. Soaked black cherry and plum, hung meat, cracked pepper, leather, wilted violet, juniper and mint, pastille and damp earth. Lovely iron and woodsy notes accompanying. WC bringing frshness, focus, and a beautiful spice component. Perfect with bœuf bourguignon. — 6 months ago
I love 21 N Rhone. 12% alcohol here. Olives, game, smoke and flowers on the nose. Juicy, elegant palate with terrific length, purity and all red fruited and mixed with minerals and herbs. So fresh and energetic. Awesome. After around 20 hours this is crazy good. More depth and concentration. Awesome fruit. 9.3 to 9.4. — 2 months ago

Best, most accessible young version of this. Glorious aromas of game, wild olives, pungent violets and stunning blankberry fruit and flower. The nose is out of this world. 9.7 nose. Smells like Cornas via Chambolle. Wow. Palate is so juicy, nimble and elegant with excellent red fruited goodness. Wow the freshness and acidity are so present. Grainy but well formulated tannins. So linear. Finishes very mineral. So classic. The tannins are so elegant and rest on on one’s lower cheeks/jaw. Blown away. So supple yet so classic. — 2 months ago
