Slightly bitter fruit punch with a little funk. Ideal for glugging, though the fruit really comes to the fore with simple food - there’s still thinking under the fun. Thanks Steve. — 7 years ago

Very easy going ! Nose of cherry. Superb palate, quite simple yet elegant, on cherry and blood with a very long acid back bone. The glass keeps getting empty very fast ... love it — 9 years ago

Very nice surprise for me given my expectations were low for this generic high priced Burgundy. But we were aurprised by the generius red fruit, cherries, nice depth and volume, good acidity and silky tannins with a decent finish in terms of length and flavor. Well balanced and even if the price tag is high, there was some wine in there. Gorgeous. Our son’s dog named “Pinot, (yeah we are passionate about anything that is Pinot) seems to appreciate also.

Une belle surprise, mes attentes n’étaient pas hautes pour ce Bourgogne générique mais le vin nous a surpris par sa profondeur, son fruit rouge généreux, cerises entre autres, sa matière, un beau volume, une belle acidité et des tannins soyeux, une finale de belle longueur pour l’appellation. Très bel équilibre et bien au-dessus d’un simple générique. Bien sur c’est pas donné mais au moins il y avait du vin. Très jolie bouteille. 91-92

Tasted blind so I'm sticking to my initial thoughts and rating.

I found it a bit simple on the palate and with artificial flavors (bubble gum) that made me think of bottom-shelve domestic Chardonnay.

It's been over a decade since my last Hamilton Russell so probably just my palate that is "off" here.... — 9 years ago

Beautiful entry-level cuvée by one of the great artisans of the Northern Rhône.
Simple and straightforward Syrah. Nose and attack on fresh black fruits (blackberries, blueberries). Clear neat body, enhanced with touches of violet, white pepper, and slightly minty, characteristic of Syrah ... Final which unfolds admirably with delicately chiseled tannins. Nice bottle to open as an aperitif, on a cold meats and cheese board, ideally accompanied by some fruit and nuts, and a piece of fresh baguette.

Belle cuvée d’entrée de gamme par l’un des grands artisans du Rhône Nord.
Syrah simple et droite tres gourmande. Nez et attaque sur les fruits noirs frais (mûres, myrtilles). Corp limpide soigné, réhaussé de touches de violette, poivre blanc, et légèrement mentholée, caractéristique de la Syrah... Finale qui se déploie admirablement avec des tanins délicatement ciselés. Belle bouteille à ouvrir des l’apéro, sur une planche de charcuterie et fromages, idéalement accompagnés de quelques fruits et noix, et un bout de baguette fraîche. — 6 years ago
