Vintage 2020 | Impressed. Power and spicyness and light footed elegance. Curious, from Pinot Gris. Paired with Jamon de Bellota from Ibérico pigs. And homemade Cantonese Kow Low Yuk. — 12 days ago

Young and tightly wound, but actually quite enjoyable because of it. Less masculine than I would expect from a Northern Rhone Syrah. Fresh red fruit and grippy tannins. Beautiful. — 16 days ago

Red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry fruit tones supported by a hint of damp leaf and cardamon spice. Silky texture with red fruit and surprising freshness in context of the vintage. Enjoyable now but should be in this spot for 4 to 6 years. — 11 days ago

Great QPR for Grenache-driven blend, easy to drink right away with cherry, earth, and tannins. — a day ago

9.4

Just stellar. Cherry, raspberry, pomegranate fruits intertwined with earth, all spice and hint of barrel. Superb texture with supple tannins with a hint of whole stem flavors. Red fruits and nice vibrancy with a mineral jolt. Close to peak but should be fab for 5 to 8 more years. — 11 days ago

The 2012 is structurally simple and soft, otherwise great winemaking and fruit purity. — 3 days ago

Has unforced grandeur and grace, rare qualities these days. Full aromatic range, low notes are resplendent. — 17 days ago

9.0

Stylish with plenty of Southern Rhône character, the CDR Les Champauvins from Dom. Grand Veneur is drawn from a plot just north of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and neighbouring Beaucastel’s Coudoulet lieu-dit. It features quite generous aromas of plum, hoisin, violet, garigue and vanilla leading to a very spicy and full bodied palate that hides its high ABV (15%) well. This is a good imitation of its AOC superiors and drinks well at four years of age. — 20 days ago
