Tasting-"Charles Thomas Cotes-du-Rhone"

Name: Charles Thomas Cotes-du-Rhone
Variety: Blend, 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre
Region: Rhone
Country: France
Year: Unknown
Price: $8.95


Wine Advocate Review: 87 points. From a 140+-acre estate near the well-known Cotes du Rhone village of Point Saint Esprit emerges this juicy Cotes du Rhone. Well-made, with loads of berry fruit and a heady, meaty, peppery nose with a hint of Provencal herbs, the wine is fresh, lively, and best drunk over the next 2 years.


My Review: I did not like this wine at all. The aroma was berry and I felt had a very similar aroma to the Coreto Tinto. This wine was hot with a lot of spice that gave a bad after taste.
