Nose was super-candied cherry right out the gate and then got a little shyer with air. The cherry got a bit deeper and sultry, accompanied by a gorgeous and increasing moist gravelly earthiness and a bit of spice. Not heavy, but surprisingly extracted in the mouth, with a lot of tannin. Very savory and long, with a growing bitter note in the finish. Better with food than a solo sipper. — 3 months ago

Tis the season for soul warming Languedoc reds. This was the basic faugeres, carignane/Grenache/cinsault blend. Soft and mellow, black cherry fruit has maybe dried out a little, slightly brown even, but still there, plus olives, herbs, some subtle brett. Is it more fun than a Barral of monkeys? Not quite but a nice drink — 3 months ago

Pale yellow color. Intensely fruity aroma. Then dry and zesty on the palate. Peaches, pears, and lemon zest. And then a long finish of wet gravel and slate. This is actually the Les collines blend of Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc. Had it with spiced chicken meatballs and it went well.  — 25 days ago
