La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2015

I took one whiff and a taste of this and remembered why I love CdP. Red and black berries, earthy, dried herbs, raspberry and coal dust. 60% Grenache; 20% Mourvèdre; 15% Syrah and 5% other permitted varieties Has depth and flavour but does it at just medium bodied. I didn’t realise I had a bottle in mid June 2023. I normally try to spread them out a bit. — 8 days ago

Red plum, red currant and sour cherry, with notes of leather, meat and forest floor. Well balanced wine with silky body.

Chaillot Cornas Syrah 2008

Great vintage for Allemand This had an intoxicating nose with dark fruit that was inky with a glycerin note, iron, meat, olive, pepper, savory spice & violet. Silky, balanced on the palate with a long finish. — 21 days ago

Domaine de Thalabert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 1990

Still very youthful color, medium-rich smoky, meaty aromas and flavors, long finish, these “Domaine de Thalabert” wines always seem to age particularly well in my experience, really an incredible Crozes!! — 9 days ago

Slightly reticent on the nose. Not the greatest bottle of this, but not bad… just a little under. — 24 days ago
