'Arcane Le Fou' Red Rhone Blend

Dazzling wine, 85% grenache, mostly from Châteauneuf-du-Pape and non-vintage to boot. Black cherry, plum, red cherry, violet, leather, beautiful, silky medium tannin, medium acidity, voluptuous texture. This is such an enjoyable wine with beautiful balance. — 10 months ago

@Lyn Farmer the Arcane série is fascinating. Every cuvée have something special!

K Vin de France Carignane

We tasted nine Minervois Red Blends (Languedoc region of France), an unknown AOC to our group. This was designated a “vin de table” because as a single-varietal, it did not conform to the Minervois arcane AOC rules. I loved it anyways — a month ago

'Arcane IX L'Ermite' Red Blend 2016

Given that I am the only reviewer thus far, I feel the need to provide an update. Enjoying my last bottle now. The nose is of prune, stewed fruits, earth. On the palate, the tannins are now fully integrated, muddled blue and black fruits dominate, with some raisin and prune. A much better showing than my prior review. I feel almost apologetic because this is a very good Gigondas. I wouldn't hold this longer though.

Arcane V Le Pape Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache

Amazing ‘garigue’ with a more rounded fruit on the background and in the immediate aftertaste after the sip. Great experience. 2010 is still very young in 2022 — 2 years ago
