Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nose of red fruits with spices and earth notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, light wood, spices, dark coffee, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This 3 year old red blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is still young, but already complex and entertaining. Very approachable, powerful and fruit forward.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 70% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and other local varieties. Aged for 2 years in large French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$60.

A miracle! A Chateauneuf under 15% 🤣🤣 I’m glad to see it’s still possible!

Brut Sous Bois Champagne Blend

Oaky, not seamless and integrated but also not over the top. There is good wine underneath the sheen of oak. If your thing you'll like it... — 2 months ago

Cuvée des Félix Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2004

There is some evident oak up front in this Cuvée Felix, lots of fresh, clean red-fruited Grenache which is less ripe than the 2015 CdP opened with this, some mineral and floral notes as well, very good balancing acidity which keeps the wine youthful (it really seems like a 10-year-old CdP), I’d say it will improve for 5 years and easily last 10 more years, but the long, lively finish means it’s drinking very well tonight!! Purchased at the domaine in early 2007. — 7 days ago

Vieilles Vignes de Pinot Noir Ambonnay Brut Grand Cru Blanc De Noirs Champagne

I am generally not a huge fan of Champagne unless it is exceptional which this is. I have always enjoyed the Blanc de Noirs style as well. Mid copper in colour. Plenty of chalky minerality on nose and palate. Fine mousse- small persistent bubbles - 72 months on lees. 100% Pinot Noir. Also aromatics of citrus and mouldy apple. The next night just as good with fewer bubbles. Much cheaper than Krug’s Clos d’Ambonnay for a similar experience I would imagine although I haven’t shelled out the considerable dosh for one of the Krug’s. — 2 months ago
