The 2007 Cotes du Rhone Sommelongue Massif Duchaux is a consistent best buy in these pages. Sexy and seductive, with sweet black currant and black cherry fruit as well as notions of Provencal herbs, smoke, and earth, it is a generously endowed offering to enjoy over the next several years. 89 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Oct 2008)
This offers up-front cherry pie and blueberry fruit notes that are slightly jammy, but offset well enough by spice and red licorice hints on the medium-weight finish. Drink now. 87 Points, The Wine Spectator (Nov 2009)
