La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 1501

Pretty, bright, purity of fruit, sense of warm earth, beautiful structure, so textural, great balance. Power, a lot of time, yet so alluring now. — 12 days ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

L'Hermitage Syrah 1988

Pains me to say this bottle was on its way out. Very dry cork and low fill. Not sure about storage. Completely tertiary with dried florals and meaty bacon and salami tones. Silky palate, but just missing a step. Came back to the glass thinking “maybe now, maybe this time,” and it wasn’t to be. Birth year. — 17 days ago

La Landonne Côte-Rotie Syrah

Drop and fresh and rich. Intense Syrah with bloodiness, black pepper, a sweet spiciness. Mature but in great shape this is clear and long with loads of complexity. In a great place — a month ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2017

Excellent follow up to the classic 2016 Vintage. Blend of Mourvèdre (30%), Grenache (30%), Syrah (15%), Counoise (10%) and the balance (15%) made up of other approved CDP varietals led by Vaccarese’. Aromas of red and black fruit, garrigue, leather and earth. Flavors of black raspberries, currants and cherries, Asian spices, smoked meat and truffles. Long and lingering (slightly spicy) finish and beautiful balance. Full bodied and dense, but not overpowering. Fine grained tannins and amazing complexity. Great now, but there is another decade (or so) of aging potential. Just incredible. — a month ago

Clos des Papes

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2023

A delicious Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining.

A great vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape that will show itself in the future.

Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and 5% local varieties. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

The last several years this producer’s wines have generally been around 15.5%. Glad to see this one coming in under 15%. I will look for it.

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 1995

Found a few bottles of this Syrah-heavy CdR, by 1995 Guigal was making over 1 million bottles of this gem that I paid less than $10/bottle for on release, this bottle had 2-3 inches of ullage, suspect cork seemed glued into the bottle neck, yet fresh, crisp acidity, a little Brett, but great balance, medium-bodied, this wine will still evolve, really lovely, even though it’s still ultimately a CdR to drink on a Tuesday night with grilled sausage!! — 24 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, it’s still fresh with great acidity.

Dom Pérignon

Brut Rosé Champagne 2015

Pale lemon in color.

Light on nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with medium plus sized bubbles.

Showing limes, grapefruits, lemons, green apples, yeast, minerals, brioche, sea salt, spices and herbs.

Medium finish with limes and grapefruits.

This 9 year old Champagne is still too young, and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly.

Easy drinking, fruit forward and elegant. Already delicious, even by itself, complex and interesting.

Robert Parker 95 points. Wine Spectator 96 points.

Needs an hour to open up properly, so be patient.

I've had many different vintages of this Champagne and this vintage feels more approachable young. Will continue to get better in the next 20 years.

Great by itself or with food.

A blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay. Disgorged in 2023.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.
