Very approachable and seamless. Dark fruits, iron, terracotta, citrus. Chapoutier always delivers serious wines. — 23 days ago

This is a very tannic 11 year old Syrah from Northern Rhône.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Showing red fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, graphite, dark coffee, light barnyard and peppercorn.

Grippy finish with raspberries.

Needs many more years to mature properly.

Called barbaresco. Actually pre-phylloxera cab franc, 160+ yr old wines. Beautiful ruby color, expressive fruit, some spice and weight. Loved it — a month ago

Must love roasted veggies. But this has shed some of its oak and youthful reduction. In a good spot with another 5-10 years of interest. — 17 days ago

75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre —a total stunner she is, drinkable now with a body to go the difference. The nose brings red fruits (plums, cherries, strawberries) and roses and rose petals. The palate is silky-smooth, fresh fruit giving way to tootsie roll and stewed fruit flavors, augmented by earth and sanguine balsamic grooves, a bit of herbal garrigue carrying the day. The finish carries on, persistent and solidly ethereal if we can make that a thing. — a month ago

Served with Fisherman’s Pasta - sablefish, mussels, saffron gnocchetti pasta, fennel, fresh baguette toast. Well stored Hermitage Blanc is a special experience and this bottle of 1999 “Le Méal” was no exception. Fascinating notes of clove, yellow flowers, apricot, marmalade, honeysuckle, and sunflower seed. Next to the Montrachet, the acid is perceived to be low and there’s an almost oily texture. Delicious. — 2 months ago
