Recently tasted 9.8.21, 7.28.21 and 6.1.21. Like the old Van Morrison album...a period of transition. Mid-palate a tad dumbed-down but the nose is clearer and airy with spearmint and tobacco. Some new cinnamon/clove infiltrating the bouquet and palate now. Still a little richness/baby fat/smoke lurking about but said intensities increasing less every time tasted. Really need to lock and key this until 2030. Good luck. — 5 years ago
Morrison £6.50, or 2 for £10. Fantastic wine for a fiver. — 5 years ago
Dry but with subtle apple flavour in the background — 6 years ago
Aromas of loam, plums and light tarry nuances which translate onto the medium weight palate with M+ intensity. Tell tale garrigue notes of underbrush and thyme. Soft Liqueur cherries. I think after Burgundy my favourite World Wine regions would have to be both CDP and Cote Rotie. Celebrating an unexpected win for the Coalition in the Australian Election after all the Polls and the Bookmakers were tipping a Labour win. Scott Morrison will be our Prime Minister for the next 3 years and beyond I would think. — 7 years ago


2022/9/11-13. This was interesting. Despite the style and availability, I haven’t had a ton of Chanterêves, but have thoroughly enjoyed what I have had - and given what I read from Jasper Morrison, I was pretty excited for this. Right now though, it is very young indeed - wild and intense. It’s got a crunchy, juicy feel, with plenty of lip smacking acidity, but also a powdery concentration one doesn’t see much in Burgundy (at least before global warming...). The nose starts off wild, grapes, perhaps a touch volatile - one hopes it’s fine with the apparently low sulfur. Over time, beautiful floral elements and hints of spice show, but it does feel like this could use some time to settle down. — 4 years ago

Suggestion from the gentleman at the bar.
Dry dark fruit. Tannens are very present. Definitely get the bottle, Jodi. Who drinks just a glass? — 4 years ago
Nice funky otago nose. Mushrooms and bright cherry but not much interest. Average — 5 years ago
Full, Bold and plush. Made from Walla Walla grapes. Ripe fruit (plums and black cherry) aromas and flavors. Hints of black pepper, black olives and baking spices. Smooth tannins. Touch of blueberry on the finish. Fruit forward but not over the top. Just a bit hot out of the bottle so decant this one a bit. — 5 years ago
Delicious with a salmon Caesar on a hot ass night on the patio with van morrison. — 6 years ago
Very quaffable. Off-dry, smooth and refreshing. Would definitely buy it again. — 7 years ago

Another great value wine on my Funday. This wine is zesty and crisp, and very fruity. Grapefruit, lemon, and pear. Guessing this was aged in used oak. It pairs very well with the chicken I decimated on the grill 🔥.
