Perrin Réserve 2009, Ac Côtes Du Rhône Bottle

$15.95

Nice medium-bodied GSM. More acidity than a GSM from the New World (or really SGM as they come from Australia and others), but a lot more complexity too. Tasted April 2012.

Very average Shiraz that falls flat with not much complexity and finish. Overly sweet. Tasted December 2012

Was pleasantly surprised with this Merlot. Tasted fairly light and harsh upon opening but within an hour of decanting, it tasted full bodied and great and had very decent complexity and length at this price point. Tasted April 2012.

First time I tried a semi-sparkling wine and fully enjoyed it. Same type of experience as drinking a rose wine on a hot summer day, but with a lot more elegance. Pretty impressive for this low price. Tasted May 2013.

Enjoyed it but needed a good hour of decanting to really deliver a nice tasting experience. Good choice wine when you want to play it safe at a party, but don't expect too much complexity. Tasted August 2012.

Very powerful wine which tasted great after an hour of decanting, but turned bitter after a couple of hours. Drink quickly! Tasted June 2013.
