Incredible value and very enjoyable wine. Juicy and fruity. Mainly dark, ripe black cherry and plum but also get some blue fruit. Almost new world in style — 6 years ago
Fresh and fruity with tame tannins. A really nice CdRV to drink young. Stephanie (la beauté au caveau) described it as “gourmandise” which she translated as “greedy”. But what I think she meant was that it is easy drinking and you gulp it right down. That’s is the case with very inviting unpretentious red. — 7 years ago
Had another bottle. Stéphane Ogier is one of Côte Rôtie’s most well-respected stars & looks for concentration in the vineyards and freshness in the cellars. "Le Temps est Venu, ‘the time has come’ for an adventure farther south, with old-vine Grenache and limestone slopes. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah that comes from the Plan de Dieu and Visan AOCs. Red fruit aromas and pepper spice notes. Sweet raspberry and cherry flavor adding herbs to the mix. Medium length ending with earthy notes. Nice value! — 7 years ago
Lots of aromas going on here. Cedar, spices and cherry. This was a bit thin to me. It never opened up even after decanting. Very tight. Wish it was the 11 or the much better 09. I hope it will age and open up. Should not have wasted opening this bottle so soon. Lesson learned. I will revisit but in due time. — 8 years ago
Dark fruit with spicy velvety undertones of violets and herbs. Rich finish. Filet mignon really went well with it. Surprise Cotes-Du-Rhone that is a cut above other CDRs. — 4 years ago
Pomegranate, rosemary, thyme, cigar box, cocoa,‘multiple layers of flavor. Very nice — 5 years ago
Really nice ride! All that perfumed purpleness in the attack and the spicy, sustained finish...complex and rewarding at 25$. 2 bottles remain. Note, the wine softened significantly on day 2, so plan for a one meal consumption. — 6 years ago
Yummy plummy. Very enjoyable. — 7 years ago

Little and peppy; light body, dark, good tannic bite, fruity, berries but def Rhone red-- has qualities of their vacqueras just light and fruitier and a bit too sweet — 8 years ago
This might be a contender. — 5 years ago
Great structure and fruit, but the tannins were a bit chewy. Maybe let this one sit for a couple of years. — 6 years ago
