Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

Excellent CDP, bright fruit (raspberries/strawberries) on the nose, follows through on the palate, well balanced - only drawback is a slight wooden feel on the back end but easy to look past. Opened up wonderfully after a couple hours. JW big fan. Powerful enough to stand up to red meat despite being a Rhône — 3 days ago

La Combe des Fous Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Pretty red color with medium intensity.

Fresh red berries on the nose with light milk chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

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

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This delicious 3 year old Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is starting to drink beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Still young, and from the great 2022 vintage. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Rich and fruit forward. Complex with a soft mouthfeel. Soft, pure and elegant.

The high alcohol is very well integrated. Spicy and entertaining. Well structured and precise.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Grapes are grown on aged vines of more than 100 years old. A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah. Aged in mostly concrete vats for 2 years. Syrah is aged in new French oak barrels.

16% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$125.

Côte du Py Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2009

Lovely aged red-fruited old vine Gamay, ripe vintage, but more freshness than many 2009 Beaujolais I’ve had the past few years, lingering finish, very fine! — 4 days ago

@Doug Powers - Are you having issues, as I am, having notes uploaded to the general feed?

@Tom Casagrande, yes I am, for the last few weeks when I post a wine, it seems like it doesn’t show up until the next day in my feed, even though it’s in my account (so to speak)??

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2022

Opened this a few years too early. Dark and brooding. Olives, violet, blackberry. Wild and savory. Would love to try this again in a few years! — 25 days ago

Exogyra Virgula Saint-Bris Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Delightful, well-balanced SB. Green apple, freshly mown grass, and the faintest green pepper. A bit of minerally zip like a light rain on gravel. — a month ago

What better companion to hachis permentier than a trusted chateneuf du pape. Still too young, it can use a couple of years of cellar time.
Edit: went from young to very drinkable in approx 45 minutes. Seamless C9DP.

Intensive kaleidoscope of sumo orange, olive oil cake and leaf pile. Motor oil viscosity but featherweight palate. Batard finish. Wow. — 18 days ago

La Porte Saint Jean Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2014

Vintage 2014 | so happy I could hold my fingers from this bottle. Now, at eleven years old it has developed a truly distinguished taste. A combination of brushwood and minerals. With in smell and taste pepperbell, clearly Cabernet Franc. Fantastic. Paired with a very simple Cantonese dish (vegetarian): Tofu stewed in oystersauce. — 2 months ago
