Developing, Red and black fruits are becoming more stewed. Sweet leather and game. The alcohol and body are so elevated it seems almost port like in texture.

Age worthy. Age necessary. All Grenache from La Guadiole — structured but classic. Can’t wait to see this on in 10 years.

Another monthly WTF Group meet up. Northern Rhône vs Southern Rhône, blind as usual.
This was probably the easiest guess of the night for me, mainly because of the dominant red fruit/spice. I didn’t pick up a lot of dark fruit or secondary herbal/meaty notes. Still tannic, this is a very solid CdP that has the stuffing to go a while.

May be my fav wine of the year so far. Nose is like a fresh meat locker in all the right ways!!! Cellar temp. It will change with some time. Taste is slightly sweet to start and very silky and hugs your cheeks. Quickly changes to deep fruit, cedar and licorice. Fun bottle.

Promising but still tight and not really showing its full potential. Surprisingly dark color and dito fruits, this youngster is almost inky but lively with caressing sweet tannins, fresh acidity and it promises to come full circle in another 5-8 years. 92+

Unbelievably smooth. Spicy red fruit, white pepper and garrigue. Could easily be drunk in 2020.
