A very tight wine that needs more time. Great intensity on the nose with ripe red and blue fruit with pretty floral notes. Complexity is hiding behind a very firm structure. A wine to be excited about for the future. #domainedemarcoux #chateauneufdupape #vieillesvignes #grenache #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago
Med concentration with garnet-orange core and orange rim with some cloudiness. Med + intensity and complexity. Roasted orange peel, sweet and mature red fruit, spice, dried herbs, dried red flowers, saw dust, and dried mushroom. The structure was still intact with high abv, med + tannin, and med acid. The notes on the palate were similar except for more candied. Tension lies with the tannin. The balance was great. Drink now but this could go a few more years. #domainedemarcoux #vieillesvignes #chateauneufdupape #rhonevalley #grenache #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago
This #domainedemarcoux was an absolute stunner. The Nose was extremely intense and complex with beautiful floral aromas, lively and rich fruit, and deep chocolate tones. The palate was fresh, concentrated, and extremely complex and lively. This #chateauneufdupape is crushing it right now. #rhonevalley #ctbucklinwine #grenacheblend — 8 years ago

A fantastic #cotesderhone at great value. The nose is offputting at first with reductive notes. The palate is well balanced and sweet with nice energy and impressive length. On the feminine side. #domainedemarcoux #babychateauneuf #rhonevalley #ctbucklinwine — 7 years ago
