Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Overrated and overpriced. 1+hr decant, probably needed more. Very hot nose with plums. Massive tannins and hits the palate like a razor blade. Earthy with plums and prunes. Not my style. Medium depth and finish.

Anyone want my last bottle?

@Paul J : Just checked my CT notes and I opened this ‘12 almost two years ago and it was corked. Was hoping I could give you some hope but my only experience was flawed!

Yeah, the Continuum's always run lean and spicy. Like zero percent body fat. Nothing to grasp...a sheer red/Cabernet cliff that few can climb.

My experience with this wine was the complete opposite. I have a few 07’s kicking around and they were plush and dense when I last took a look…

Colgin Cellars

IX Estate Napa Valley Red Blend 2014

1.5 hour decant (decent fine/cloudy sediment). A fabulous deep ruby red color. On the nose: dark red fruit, leather, sandalwood, floral, and nutmeg. Taste: power and depth with dark cherry, dark chocolate, spice, leather, and an earthy espresso long finish. YUM! — 23 days ago

1hr+ decant. Lovely wine. Dark red, maroon color. Dark cherries and cedar on the palate. Well integrated tannins and fruit on the palate. Refined, rustic, and my style! Well made! — 15 days ago

@Rob Brobst III It is a pedigree estate & winemaking team. Further for me, the style of the vintage w/ really with well made Napa Cabernets are dead center of my style wheelhouse. Round & elegant. Cheers! 🍷

Vieux Château Certan

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Beautiful medium dark rubi robe, reticent nose of blackcurrant, asphalt, tobacco and black cherries notes. It has density and quality of fruit, but ends on a dry port register. A faulted bottle ? In any case not worth the price and disappointing. — 23 days ago

Dominus Estate

Napanook Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

We had the 2015 Vintage on 12/13-14/25. An aromatic bouquet of blackberry and flowers and maybe tobacco. BlackBerry, plum, mocha and sandalwood. The tannins are all smoothed out. Full bodied and fruit forward. Less “Bordeaux” than prior Vintages. More California. Still, a fantastic red blend. The price is now double what I paid in 2018. — 21 hours ago

Claret Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Not quite as bracingly dry as the last few vintages but still good depth of field-especially for the price. 12.10.25. — 4 days ago

I do like the “Old School” term, Claret.

Ridge Vineyards

Estate Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Dark red pomegranate, mushroom, bramble, light, enough acid to counter light tannins. Excellent cab. — 2 days ago
