2020 vintage. From a 375ml. Some good funk in the nose immediately after opening but that mostly dissipated after 15 mins. Medium/medium heavy body. Plenty of the expected fruit-driven power cradled with equally noted tannins. Way too young, even in a half-bottle and dynamite now but another 12-15 years will be stellar. 12.12.25. — 23 days ago

Golden copper color. Orchard fruit, citrus dry, precise, high acidity. Light toasty notes, not much fruit, lemon zest, rich — 8 days ago
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fresh red berries on the nose with Indian spices and chocolate notes.
Medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing raspberries, cherries, black currants, plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, earth, coffee, wet leaves and herbs.
Medium length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This young Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is very approachable, and already drinking beautifully, but needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.
Well balanced and tangy, with good structure. Spicy and entertaining. Alcohol is nicely integrated already. Complex and engaging.
I had this wine as a 20 year old, and it was so much better with age.
This 2022 vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape is already showing its possibilities. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.
Delicious by itself or with food.
A blend of mostly Grenache, from 40 year old vines, with all 13 grapes allowed in the appellation. Aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Fascinating, after my recent run of so-so to DNPIM (do not put in mouth) CdPs from 25 or so years of age, here’s a “basic cuvée” of CdP (think $18-20 bottle on release) that is punching far above its weight, red fruits, very fine CdP that is drinking great now, long, lingering finish, and shows promise for another 3-5 years of aging!! — 17 days ago

I had forgotten I had this champagne in my fridge in the garage. Opened on New Year’s Eve fully expecting it to be flat.
It was delicious! Very bubbly and good! — 6 days ago
