Decent
Definately more drinkable a few hours after opening. This is a decent Cotes-Du-Rhone red, let down marginally by being too alcoholic at 14.5%. Please Michael Chapoutier and team, work out a way to over come the "hotter" summers we are apparently now experiencing and bring the alcohol level back to the 12-13% level.
If you can find it I recommend you try Chapoutier Petit Ruche, or better still Deschant. A few pounds more but well worth the investment. Majestic purchasing team - Any chance of stocking these lines? It all seems to end up in America which is a shame.
