‘An unusually approachable and spicily precocious example of the Rhône’s darkest and most backward red.’
Jane MacQuitty in The Times says:Scoop up this straggler from Yapp Bros' whose fine, fat, black fruits-charged yet seductive inky style befits its sturdy appellation. In the Syrah-dominant northern half of the Rhône Valley, 2005 was a grand vintage, a notch above the wines of the South that year, yet these robust '05s are open enough to enjoy now with big winter dishes such as game pies and rabbit stew. Drink now until 2015.
