Opened and poured into a decanter about four hours prior to service. The 2005 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some sediment. One the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of ripe brambles, garrigue, cool spices, leather, licorice, and espresso. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, tart and sapid. A wine of pedigree and yet, has a rusticity that gives a nod to its origin. Drink now through 2035+? — 18 hours ago

Straw golden color. Oxidized a bit. Little hot at first but then great apricot and stone fruits when paired with scallops and salmon. Good body and light in the palate. Crowd pleaser. — 5 months ago

What a pleasing dinner companion. I can feel the Provençal sun and breeze. Buy a case. Drank this with wild boar ragu from Bruno’s cookbook. — 7 months ago

Another outstanding vintage of Pegau’s LONE Côtes du Rhône white. Blend of Clairette (40%), Bourboulenc (30%), Grenache Blanc (20%) and Ugni Blanc (10%). Silvery/Golden color. Forward aromas and flavors of minerals, chalk, white flowers, grassy herbs and green apples. Not overly fruit forward but intense, fresh tasting, driven and pleasantly funky. Full bodied with no evidence (unless very neutral) of oak aging. Beautiful texture and mouthfeel. I think this wine often gets overshadowed by the white Chateneuf du Pape blends from neighboring villages. Exceptional value. Simply terrific! — 5 months ago

Great lunch. Highly perfumed fonsalette and even more so rayas against a very young and quite flabby Pegau. Elegance against power, feminin against masculin. — 4 months ago

Redfruits, nice acid lifts this, fully mature and is super clean compared to the gamey/leathery/slightly funky 1999 Pegau CdP, but lacks the depth or flavor interest or sheer complexity of the Pegau!! — 8 months ago
