Vintage 2020 Les quelles de la coste - cuvée carmenere | very dark colour. In smell blackberries and black cherries, initially gloomy but after half an hour in the glass it is joyous and expressive. Friendly taste with good concentration and a velvety structure. We paired it with one of our home favorites, Cantonese beef with mango, and this went well above expectations. Well made Vaucluse wine that gives immediate pleasure. — 21 hours ago

2020 vintage. Super shroomy and massive black olive/tapenade in the nose. Too soon. Needs another year or two. Nearly a Bordeaux finish currently except for that pumping mushroom that won’t be denied. Medium body. — 9 days ago

Dark ruby, very ripe strawberries, garrigue, fine tannin, some heat on the finish. A big, complex rosé that drinks more like a light red 😋 — 4 days ago

Nice rhone white. Better than the last bottle we had. Some tropical fruits. Nice balance and body and mouthfeel. Acid slightly lower but still a refined finish. — a day ago

Quite contained 30 minutes after decanting. Stewed plums and black pepper. Very savoury and earthy on the palate - prunes showing through. Fine yet firm tannins to finish off. Good value coming from Gigondas. Love this style of wine. — 10 days ago

Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, herb and spicy notes, blend of 40% Grenache and 30% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, all aged in older barrels. On the palate flavors of black cherry and ripe blackberry with cigar box and black pepper spice. Big firm tannins, nicely integrated, good balanced, long finish with solid ending. — 8 days ago
