2021 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Promising nose with fruit, spice and tobacco. Has dropped much of the baby fat of youth and transitioning into the surly teen years. Richness-front palate. Fruit in the mid-palate. Structure, spices and a gorgeous, savory note akin to comparably aged Côte-Rôtie. Hard to push away from now and on the come. The new Coravin CDP rouge at $40 a glass. 5.7.26. — 8 days ago

2017 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret 'Cuvée Exceptionnelle' Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rhône valley GSM. Deep ruby color, red fruits, dark fruits, and even blueberry. Tannins start quite acidic, but soften over time. Warm spices come out after about 30 mins. — a month ago

Opened prior to dinner; enjoyed over several hours. The 2012 pours a light ruby with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of red brambles, red rope licorice, leather, red flowers and purple flowers, and stony minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose the finish is medium+. Textbook, Grenache forward CdP that’s showing quite beautifully. Drink now through 2032. — 2 months ago

Ok hands up...far too young. Bad planning from me 🙌. That being said...what a wine and I'm so glad I have more!!! Concentration and flavour for days...insane levels of concentration. There is also balance and acidity but oh my what a wine! — 2 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth and spices.

Long finish with round tannins and cooked cherries.

This is a delicious Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and extracted. Powerful and interesting. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining.

Already showing beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 75% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and a touch of Vaccarèse, Counoise and Cinsault. Aged in large French oak barrels for 16 months.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.
