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

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

Absolutely delicious red that my husband's uncle brought for dinner. Not sure if I'll be able to find it in the USA, but I might try! — 11 years ago

I haven’t tagged a wine in a long time. My friend went to Napa Valley and brought this back to me. It was so smooth it was addictive. It’s a fantastic wine with a good friend who shared it with me. Plan to buy soon for myself. — 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

Syrah stands out on this. Dark purple, smoke and pepper. Pretty tasty. — 9 years ago

Dark. Crushed roses. Black cherries. Beautiful nose and a long finish. Perhaps a bit too fatty fruit driven... I loved it but I plan to pick up another Hansel's "three rows" tomorrow as it seemed to add a dimension over the north slope. Nonetheless, all good! — 9 years ago

2004—part of a Vieux Telegraphe vertical. Excellent, with layers of good dark fruit and hints of leather and smoke, plus a nice earthiness overall. A lesson for me on the effect of bottle age. (And also how pro ratings can be off the mark—this was wonderful!) Drinking nicely now... — 10 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

Deep garnet color with purple hue. Perfume, flower, leather, black pepper, red berry all come together beautifully on the nose. Warm and bright on the palate. The extra chili source like kick at the end might not be for everyone, but I love it. Tannic, and a bit puckery. A harmonized blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre. This is one of the best value wine I've ever tasted. — 8 years ago

Very tasty. Full bodied fruit and earth/spice. More of a "new world" southern rhone if there is such a thing. Delish and inexpensive. — 9 years ago
