Home sweet home! Really good Cab S. Nose full of black currant, some tar, wood. Subtle tannins. In a good window now. Not overwhelming in power. Cannot imagine this getting much better. — 15 days ago

Dense, meaty, sauvage, elegant and soulful. Reminiscent of Bandol but a certainly distinctive mineral character, more baked stone coming through. Fruit is settling in, the wild tertiary notes poking out, hitting a stride for sure. — 2 months ago

A wonderful bottle of wine, that you usually don’t drink on a lovely warm July evening. But what the heck, why not. We don’t get many evenings like this in our neck of woods. From the first whiff you know it’s a serious wine. In its prime, deep colour, slight bricking at edges, dense and deep, earthy, definitely not a wimpy wine. A long and persistent aftertaste confirms that this is a serious wine. And highly enjoyable one, too bad I don’t have more. — 2 months ago

We pulled this from our cellar and brought it to V. Mertz for dinner. We enjoyed a couple of other wines as aperitifs and then ultimately did what anyone given the opportunity should do: pair it with lamb chops. We poured it into a decanter while we enjoyed the conversation and opening courses. Given the setting, there were no formal notes however, I can confidently report that the 2015 “Tintot” absolutely slaps. From the first sip to the last, it was all balance, power and class. It was also a spectacular showcase for Mourvèdre. It was hard to fully judge color because the lighting was so low but it appeared to be nearly opaque. A touch feral with a slightly gamey element to it but there’s a great big ol’ basket of black and blue fruits with red and purple flowers, garrigue, some black pepper and cedar chest. Structure is still quite firm but totally enjoyable. While this is an unusual assemblage for the region, it still comes across as a wine from Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This was my first “Tintot” and it has left quite the impression. Drink now with an hour decant or over the next 7-10 years. P.S. it probably goes without saying, but the pairing with lamb chops was sublime. — 3 months ago

A bold, deep red with top notes of cherry and blackberry and a sour cherry finish. Amazing on its own as a Friday night delight! — 20 days ago

Give this 30 minutes and it’s pure violet, black currant. Fresh soil. Vivid. So floral. A favorite. Sweet, delicate, mesmerizing. — a month ago
