Opened about 8 hours prior to service and Audouze’d. The 1989 pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core and a slightly watery rim; medium viscosity and light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and red fruits: brambles, poblano pepper, smoked and candied pork belly, leather, mint, damp decomposing earth, gentle spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and still pretty grippy. What’s wild is how relatively “modern” this wine comes across; especially considering the more humble Côtes de Bourg appellation. Drink now. — 15 hours ago

2016 vintage. Red plum, hoisin, shiitake on soft wood, cinnamon and cedar, coffee rye, palm bark, lilac. Expansive sour cherry, cranberry, pipe tobacco, leather, apple skin, allspice, nutmeg and clove. Really a perfect Côtes du Rhône from a great vintage, shining, deific at eight years.

A little bit more than a simple #provence #rose quaffer, expected strawberry, yellow peach nose, palate entry has a lovely texture and flavor of watermelon Jolly Rancher, a touch of spice on the finish. Refreshing! — 22 days ago

NOSE: cherry, clay, mulberry. Wax. Hibiscus. Strawberry. Flowers…but very mild ones.

TASTE: raspberry, strawberry, cherry, clay — nice acidity, almost citrus-like on the finish (pineapple?). Not my style, but elegant and well made. 89. — 23 days ago

2010. It seems my two bottles (first drank Dec 2022) were on the good side of the like it or hate it split with this one being even better integrated than my last. Pairing with some Memorial Day BBQ. — a month ago
