Love this! 2019, dark cherry, hint of spice, and so many complex layers to this one as the night goes on. — 2 months ago
Smokey black cherry, strawberry, blackberry and forest floor. Starting to show tertiary character with leather and meat. Elegant tannins ands a lovely balance of fruit, acid and alcohol. Very good quality and delicious drinking now. — 3 months ago
Roasted bell pepper, chunky, meaty grenache. Inky and chalky at the same time. Heavy flowers. Hot dusty tiles in summer time. There’s a lot to write home about, but not everything is in its right place. Good right now and maybe great in the near future. Time will tell. — 3 months ago
Vintage 2019 | I love this wine. It’s a idiosyncratic character. A Beast. Not willing to show charm. Very old school: classic smell, peat, cedar. Hint of chocolate. I thought it to be a Tannat, that says it. Put away in the cellar for another 3 - 5 years and get it on a windy, rainy autumnday for a dinner with wild boar of deer. Probably you will be amazed and witness a miracle. — 3 months ago
Decanted and aerated. Not much bouquet but some spicy berries. Delicate mild dark berry middle and then finishes with that long old world earthiness. Dry dry finish. Perfect with apple topped pork. — a month ago
QPR banger! Aromatic nose of flowers and spices, sandalwood, violets, and dried cherry. Really splendid, notice a different layer with every sip! — 3 months ago
Opens with an odd vegetal note but smooths out into a satisfying, well structured Gigondas. Mom up for a visit — 3 months ago
