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. — 24 days ago
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.

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. — a month ago
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! — 5 days ago
From a magnum, shortly before my son’s wedding. Wonderful, but I felt that it would be even better in 5-6 years. — a month ago

Merlot dominates this blend but there is some Cabernet Sauvignon and some Cabernet Franc blended in. Medium ruby color with a slight clear meniscus. Fruit forward aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, dark plum, baking spices and cedar. Medium-plus finish. Medium body and very silky tannins. Well balanced/layered acidity and a very silky texture. A bit more austere than a traditional Medoc red blend. At peak. — 17 days ago
