Pitted dark fruits on the nose. Very smooth and elegant feel with the perfect blend of fruit and earth. — 19 days ago
Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils
Cuvée De Mon Aïeul Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2000
Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.
This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.
Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.
Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel — a month ago
Château Rayas
Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2010
Tasting with a big fan of Rayas. Better than the 2010 and both bottles were so different than other CDP. This one more Burgundy, the 2010 closer to Bordeaux. Both very elegant. — 12 days ago

Really lovely and punchy. Vivid fruit, loads of savory tangy fruit. Iron and iodine and a hint of strawberry sweetness. Excellent — 6 days ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019
11/2025. Full of flavor with a nice finish. Sits well on the palate. Enjoyed with Duck Confit Carbonara at Divino Rosso. — 20 hours ago
Château de Saint-Cosme
Côtes du Rhône Syrah 2019
100% Syrah. This is a very inexpensive Cotes but 2019 was a banner year. Velvety and full bodied. Notes of black cherry, graphite and cocoa powder. Medium tannins brings a decent finish. Nicely paired with a spicy grilled chicken. — 24 days ago

La Mouline Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2006
Always the most elegant and perfumed and even Burgundian of the La La’s, 06 is gorgeous tonight, open and giving with the oak seamlessly absorbed, wafting layers of cassis, bacon fat, camphor and exotic spices with silky palate and tremendous length. Still young but quite accessible now! — 7 days ago

Feel that this has closed down a lot since our last try. A lot less lively and hard to put your finger on. Still gorgeous and silky...will always remain one of my most favourite wines! Paired with pasta putanesca. — 5 days ago
