Dank. Prune, macerated strawberry, mulling spices, good acid with just enough tanin and body to balance. Really fun wine that still can pair with a lot. — 2 years ago

Yes, CdP is the adult in the room but sometimes hanging out with the kids can be enormously gratifying. A very impressive Gigondas. — 2 years ago

A pretty color of ruby with a wide red rim.

On the nose cherries, blueberries, violets, spices, river rocks, earth, concrete, light vegetables and black pepper.

Medium bodied and airy, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco, spices, coffee, earth, vegetables, light alcohol and peppercorn.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and red chili powder.

This is a young red blend from Southern Rhone. Showing fresh fruits with earth notes. Nice and interesting.

Needs an hour to open up and remove some of the acidity. Tannins show up after 60 minutes.

Already drinking nicely, but needs a few years to calm down. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.

Showing mild complexity, and a little hot at the back of the throat right now. Gentle and elegant. Spicy and tangy.

Good by itself and better with food. Paired nicely with Camembert and crackers.

A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Unfiltered and fined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

Nutty with sharpness. Lemon. Slate. Quite advanced or maybe an oxidative style. Got balance and cut — 6 months ago

Bordeaux typique, va en donner encore plus dans 5-8 ans, beau potentiel. Jusqu’à présent aime bien les 2010, je trouve qu’ils sont structurés, qu’ils ont du coffre avec un excellent potentiel long terme — 2 years ago

Always one of my references in terms of value for money in Madiran. A round cuvée with soft tannins. Drinkable from the second or third year. To have in his cellar!

Exotic fruits, pineapple, passion fruit. On the grassy side, hay, peach in syrup, apricot... superbly in place for this 2015 with a potential for evolution over the next 25 years, potential evolution towards notes of dried fruit and nuts. Sweet without saturated sugar. Digestible and light. A real wine in the refined sense of the term. Magnificent on a Roquefort cheese.

Notes fruits exotiques, ananas, fruits de la passion. Côté herbeux, foins, pêche en sirop, abricot… superbement en place pour ce 2015 avec un potentiel d’évolution sur les 25 prochaines années, évolution potentiels vers des notes de fruits secs. Doux sans sucre saturé. Digeste et léger. Un vrai vin au sens raffiné du terme. Magnifique sur un Roquefort. — 2 years ago

July 2021. Purchased at the Chateau May 2016. Second label Marquis de Terme. Although 2011 wasn’t a stellar vintage, this wine was quite lovely. Black fruit, balanced tannins. Wonderful complexity. — 3 years ago
