Wine #5 on Jean-Pierre Robinot Uncorked Vol. 1

Lovely, perfumed, and delicate bouquet of flowers, seawater, and peach. With time, it opens up and becomes sweeter on the nose. On the palate, it's round despite the high acidity, offering an interesting evolution with a touch of brine in the finish. Lively, electric, and delicious. It's like Gravonia mixed with Jacky Blot. A curious combination, but it needs more time in the bottle.

Classic CDP. 65 grenache, 20 syrah, 10 mourvedre, 5 cinsault. A little thin on the nose. Solid balance on the palate. On its own, this is solid. But with food, especially spicy food, this really shines. — 4 years ago

Did not have with food. East drinking Grenache. Would purchase again.

2011. Last bottle of L’Argentier. It was great to have multiple bottles their Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Rosé in the cellar this past decade. Always drinkable and great with food. The Grenache was my favorite, but the age on this Cinsault mellowed out the tartness and underripe flavors I noted early on. Big cherry on the nose and initial taste, then some spicy earth and smooth tannins. — 7 months ago

Super light with fragile raspberries and strawberries, pine needles. Pretty volatile but nothing too crazy. — 3 years ago

As you’d expect a non-intervention, no (low) sulfite pineau d’aunis to be. If you’re into it, delicious. If not, you’ll hate it. Watermelon, cherry candy, camphor, raspberry torte, sour patch kids (the red one). — 6 years ago
