Great wine of Bordeaux. — 9 years ago
Big, bold and delicious from the dark dark cherry colors and complex nose of leather, slight licorice, hearty mushrooms, dried oak limbs... Through the first sip that suffuses the palate with steely minerals and then slides into those favors mid-palate that were in the nose. An acidic finish that will undoubtedly round and mellow in coming years... And likely if I have patience to let it breathe.
Totally worth cellars g for a few years — 9 years ago
My last one unfortunately... Took a while for this wine to really show is what it got. Great success. — 10 years ago

Typical of the great 2007 vintage, A good CdR Village drinks like a CdP from a lesser year. — 11 years ago
Excellent version of CdR. Fairly dark in color and rich in flavor. Great red fruit up front that unfolds into earthy, minerally darker fruit towards the back end. Delicious. — 7 years ago

One of the wines I had in 2008 that made me fall in love with wine was a Côte du Rhone by JL Chave "Mon Coeur". It's been a long time since I had a Rhone wine, I got this from Kermit Lynch shop in Berkeley, Cali. Nice notes of pepper and spice, gamy, good tannins from Syrah. Another good find from Kermit... Try this with steak that has fat, you will love this wine! — 9 years ago
