1999 Falesco Vitiano - minty, a bit acidic. Very drinkable wine, especially for the price.
1998 Falesco Montiano - ripe and fruity, marshmallow nose. Also a bit minty. Pretty concentrated and tannic. Excellent wine and my favorite of the evening.
1999 de Colombier Hermitage - sharp, kerosene-like nose. Not very pleasant. Full of animal blood. Nose actually reminds me of cheap Côtes-du-Rhône from Guigal or Jaboulet.
1999 de Monteillet Côte-Rôtie - open nose and a bit floral. Not bad.
1999 de Font-Sane Gigondas Cuvée Futée - very solid. Medium bodied. Good effort.
1998 Les Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape - nose a bit like grape juice. Full of red fruits and stewed prunes. Probably the best Rhône of the evening.
1998 Balestard-La-Tonnelle - oaky nose with stewed prunes.
1998 La Vieille-Cure - nose of tobacco, bacon, animal, leather and coffee.
1998 La Griffe de Cap d'Or - nose of roasted ground coffee, also a bit of "shit" nose, not very good.
1998 de Chambrun - pretty tannic on the palate. Not pleasant drinking.
1998 Franc-Mayne - very flat and uninteresting.
1998 Haut Villet Cuvée Pomone - dry, tannic on the palate. Nose of nuts, oak and some ripe fruit.
