Domaine de Thalabert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2015

From Magnum. Opened about an hour before dinner; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best after a couple of hours. The 2015 “Domaine de Thalabert”pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and desiccated fruit: blueberries, figs, lavender, Kalamata olive, leather, coffee, Bacon fat, spices, and organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This was pretty shy and awkward early but after significant air, it came alive. Lots of life left. Drink now through 2035. — 18 days ago

Mule Noire Crozes-Hermitage Syrah

Some went into the lamb shanks and we drank the rest.
Loved the berry in the nose and on the palate. Incredible an hour after opening--soft and rich, tannins adding character without stepping on the taste buds.

Le Chant des Griolles Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise 2019

Muscat not my favorite varietal but here it really shines: tension, focused, with that wide, flowery & confectionery nose, on palate mango, lemon curd, & a gorgeous sweetness. .375 ml bottle. — 6 months ago

Deep golden in color with more body and intensity than a Chardonnay. Asian apple and some apricot on the palate. Neutral oak provides umami as well. This wine is in it’s ideal drinking window! — 15 days ago

Les Traverses Côtes du Ventoux Red Rhone Blend

We have been buying this wine for years and Jaboulet consistently produce good vintages. Great balance and plenty of character, that can be paired with any rich foods you throw at it. And at a fantastic price! — 6 months ago
