"Juicy and pure, with the vintage's textbook flavor profile of raspberry and licorice, backed by a graphite hint on the finish. Drink now through 2007. 115,000 cases made. –JM

"86. The 2005 Cotes du Rhone Belleruche which contains considerable Syrah, offers some herbal notes, dark ruby color, good fruit, medium body, and a straightforward style that is unlikely to inspire or displease"
