Enjoyed this from the recent Discovery red case. What a surprise and enjoyed with homemade pizza; a perfect match. Lovely aromatics and crunchy and light on the palate; really enjoyable! Would buy more if it was easily attainable.

Very rich and luscious wine, but very heavy with wood flavours which bury the fruit. Wood is far too dominant for my palate. If you enjoy big wines with all those barrel flavours, then this is a wine for you. No finesse in this wine.

Thankfully this one was purchased on sale. I wish I understood the rating and description of this wine. Its completely lackluster with thin fruit and strong acids.

Fine wine; very enjoyable. However, the ridiculous wax covering over the cork is a huge pain to remove. Very poor design.

Rather furry on the palate and watch out for the sediment

Not even close to the description. It is thin and quite flavourless and no perceptible nose. I purchased a case of it based on the winealign rating and we are quite disappointed. Doesn't come close to an Okanagan syrah.

SUPERB Rhone exactly as described by Mr Lawrason. An absolute delight with a wonderfully smokey, meaty nose and a lovely herbal palate on the lighter side but still delectable with great complexity.

Very difficult wine to appreciate. Flavours are dull and uninviting. A real disappointment in the mixed red Discovery case.

Wooly is an understatement and the nose is very funky but it really delivers a unique wine experience; must enjoy with food; something grilled.

Received our case of this wine this week and had our first taste today with dinner. What a beauty! Serious grip on the palate. Lovely fragrant nose. This is serious stuff and needs hefty food to match.Very p[leased with our purchase. As Mr. Godel suggests, it might a a year to calm down a bit, but I like it now.
