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. — 21 days 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! — 18 days ago

Blend of 55% Grenache, 40% Syrah with 5% other varieties. Ruby red color with aromas of red berry fruits with spicy notes. On the palate juicy flavors of black cherry and raspberry, adding mild spice notes. Fine tannins, good balance with acidity, medium finish ending with fruit and spice. Consistent from year to year. Good value! — 4 months ago

Really cool to have this wine with age. A phenomenal vintage for Olivier Collin. It has evolved beautifully in bottle, seamlessly balanced between richness and elegance with stunning purity, depth and texture that wraps around the palate with a long, salty mineral laced finale. Killer bubbles. — 5 months ago
