Cotes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes Syrah-Grenache Blend 2019

9.1

Concentrated and rich without being too overbearing. Ripe black fruit, black licorice, incense, and an especially active barnyard. Tannins and acid work together well, and a couple of years should improve things. Solid bottle, especially for the price. — 11 days ago

Great value. When chilled, lots of dark berries (raspberry, dark cherry, currant). As it warms and opens moves towards spice (vanilla) and herbal (stems) notes. Mildly complex. Great with food. Good on its own. — 18 days ago

Big round full bodied. Wonderful wine. Another 5-10 yrs of aging should make it even more spectacular. — 16 days ago

Black cherries and plum. Dark but not heavy. Solid red, would be an excellent table wine, and great chilled. Grew a lot on me over time. — 3 days ago

Cuvée des Peintres Collioure Grenache Blend 2020

9.0

Cherry, blackberry, plum, licorice, garrigue. Very nice nose. The palate is well made and shows some nice spice (black pepper), blackberry and cherry, a good width and some matter on the side, a vivid mouthfeel with a grip, some light tannins that caress before a long finish with black fruits and licorice in retro. Quite good indeed! We had it along a great moussaka made by Mrs M. and it was great. — 12 days ago

Never see Collioure around!

@Tom Casagrande highly recommended! This is very cheap, still relatively low profile and delicious. A priorat from the other side of the border

Domaine Jean Baptiste Senat

La Nine Minervois Grenache Blend

9.1

Natural wine done right, and a welcome, elegant take on the appellation. Blue fruited and high toned on the nose, this has good intensity on the palate yet maintains refinement, and a crunchy edge. Earth driven, there is a ferrous, sanguine quality to the fruit, and this develops nice complexity with air. Stays clean, this avoids the typical natural wine pitfalls with air exposure. Great producer, lovely wine. — 3 days ago
