Day 2: smoked mushroom and charred meat. Black cherry, plum and tar. Florals show with time and add lift to the aromatics. Tremendous nose. Masculine body, with brooding ripe dark skin fruits. Integrating tannin, soft to finish. Appreciable length. — 11 days ago

Nicely balanced. Luscious. Not the rustic side of Crozes … more like it was wearing a suit rather than the traditional overalls. — a month ago

Have not opened a bottle of Parallel 45 in some time. This 2018 cotes de Rhone opened July 2021 and allowed to breath. The aroma is intense black cherry with dark chocolate. The taste replicates this and has mild to moderate tannins. It remains a great choice for meats like lamb or ribs. I will keep it in stock. — 3 days ago

Surprisingly cloying BdV…indistinguishable from a Sauternes…I blame the age — a month ago

Dark red stone fruits and leather. Smooth with a long finish. Suspect letting lay up another five years would be good but just couldn’t wait! — 20 days ago

Had with lamb, was delicious. Pepper, Boysenberry, herbs, licorice, fennel, soy sauce, silky tannins and balancing acid. — a month ago
