Rouge Vin de Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône Cabernet-Syrah Blend 1990

Lovely bottle sweetness, dark fruits, leather, some currants, the Cabernet dominates right now over the Syrah, lovely depth and complexity, long, lingering finish, excellent older southern French blend!! — 8 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I have some bottles left (1988, 1989, mag of 1990, and I think 1995), these were always amazing!!

Nice to see the old world doing a Cabernet Syrah blend. A great blend and very common in Australia as you know.

Cuvée du Rosier Coteaux du Loir Pineau d'Aunis 2022

My brother likes this, I don’t but will drink it because I’m a good sister! 😖 very light bodied, way too tannic, no fruit on the palate. I’ll open something else for the steak! — 3 months ago

Domaine de la Chapelle

Saint-Victor Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rosé 2022

Another solid vintage of this consistently good Provence Rose’. This vintage’s blend is Grenache (50%), Cinsault (30%) and Syrah (20%). Light pink in color with some lavender highlights. Fruit forward aromas of strawberry, watermelon, red flowers and lemon zest. Same fruity flavors with additional notes of peach, orange, and minerals. Touch of white pepper on the tart finish. Crisp, refreshing and clean with a faint hint of sweetness. Nice balance of acidity and alcohol (12.5%). Thanks for sharing, Chris B! — a month ago

Rouge-Gorge Coteaux Du Loir Pineau d'Aunis 2022

Complex in an utterly distinctive way. The aroma and palate are dominated by generals and other non-fruits. Then the fruit profiles become more evident. And back and forth … — 2 months ago

Moulin Touchais

Coteaux du Layon Chenin Blanc 2005

Plus moelleux que liquoreux. Des arômes et saveurs de fruits exotiques, ananas, touche de métal. Moyennement sucré, agréable. — 23 days ago

Coteaux du Languedoc Red Rhone Blend 1995

30 years old and still bringing it. Drank with my blushing bride of 51 years on Valentine’s Day. It was a good choice. Both. — 2 months ago

Cuvée St. Agnes Languedoc Rouge Red Rhone Blend 2014

Nicely aged blend, enjoyed in 2025.
Syrah most prevalent, opened up well once allowed to breathe.
