Nothing to blog about but lovely to drink. Nothing complex but appealing on the palate. Berry and spice and a wet earthy finish, while never overpowering. It does not dominate. It has that French sitting on the fence thing about it. A weird hybrid between exceptional and inconsequential. Personally, I could drink this regularly. With friends, at dinner, as a sipper. But then again, I will probably never drink this again, at least not in BC; not at the price. Not at the astonishingly ridiculous price. My god.
Price: 40 frigging dollars a bottle before onerous taxes. Over on the Reverse Wine Snob blog they pegged it at half that in US so there should be a willing market. But Rhone reds on our shelves have got to shine a little higher at the $40 plus mark.
Market Liquidity: Like a best friend who goes snob.
