"Medium red. Cherry, rose petal, licorice and mint on the nose; more floral and less gamey than the 2000 version. Then juicy, slightly medicinal and very tightly wound in the mouth. An intense, impressively structured, cooler style of wine whose somewhat austere tannins will require - and should reward - patience."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
