Domaine Le Couroulu

Vieilles Vignes Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend 2015

Gorgeous nose of black cherry, then goes down easy. Slight tannins, but wow. Sun dried tomatoes and olives. I love Rhones, and this one is a keeper! — 4 years ago

Ensemble Lock Vineyard Petit Verdot Blend 2015

Ming L
9.0

The 15’ bottling sees Petit Verdot leading this Bordeaux blend at 32%, with 26% CS, 26% Merlot, 13% CF, and 3% Malbec.
Complex and deep nose of blackberry, cassis, fig, dry pine cone, dark soy source, butterscotch, thyme, black pepper, with hint of violet. The palate, while delicious and smooth, lacks the depth I expected. Finely grained tannins lead to a long peppery finish.
377 cases made.

L'Esprit de l'Horizon Blanc Macabeo Blend 2022

Oops, looks like your phone is running low on memory. To fix this, reboot your phone.
To reboot, hold the lock button for a few seconds, then slide to power off.
OK! I’ll do that now!

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2016

Austere. Nose starts pretty reticent - Wood and spice and a little fruit- then blossoms with some elegant purple florals after several hours. This will become wonderful with time and be a keeper based on balance and concentration at this point. — 4 years ago

Burgenland White Blend 2019

Wow. I’m more of a red drinker and rarely care for whites, but was craving risotto so needed a decent one. This was a very pleasant surprise. A punch in the nose of honey and sweet lemons, and soon following with apples... even a bit of fresh sea breeze. I thought it was going to be sweet because of the nose, but it’s still a nice dry, round white; barely tart ending. It is exactly what I was looking for to make my meal and I probably can finish the rest of the bottle myself. It pairs really well with my lemon asparagus and chives risotto. The price is fantastic as well. Definitely a keeper and will stock up for future weeknight drinks. — 5 years ago
