Where’d you try it? Vintage Cellar
Would you drink it again? I'd keep it in mind
Extra thoughts? This is supposed to be a versatile wine as far as it's condition to age further or be had young.
Other reviews:
From the Vintage Cellar:
“Intense garnet colour. The nose reveals red fruits (raspberry, red currants) combined with subtle hints of eucalyptus and bouquet garni. Aromas of very ripe fruit, leather and bouquet garni. The palate is sensual and is distinguished by a good balance bouquet garni indicate full ripeness of the grapes resulting. With its subtle tannins the Mas Neuf Rhone Paradox can be tasted now or could be laid down in the cellar for 2 to 5 years.
My rating scale works as such:
1. Never Again
2. If someone else bought it
3. I'd keep it in mind
4. At least one more time
5. Going to get another bottle right NOW!
