Still shining. Grenache as good as it gets.

In my surf publishing days, we did an issue of Bodyboarding Magazine with a main line for the cover story of "Chasing Perfect". I didn't much like the phrasing, in regards to a group of shredders traversing the Mentawai Islands, but our publisher was all about it and it worked out well in the end. Drinking this tonight, the phrase came to mind out of nowhere, probably because Font du Loup captured it in 2012.

This is really light bodied and elegant, confounding my expectations of CdP yet again. Pretty, great acid and crystalline red fruit.

A super 100% grenache from 100-yr old vines. Clean, pretty without haut couture stemwork.

Young and modern with really dominant oak. Came off more Aussie Grenache than CDP.

This bottle was rich and jammy at first, followed by leather and then finally herbs. A pleasant Chateauneuf du Pape.

Wow, klart bästa CdP jag druckit. 100% Grenache från vingård planterad 1905. Massa bär, massa torkad frukt, massa viol och anis, massa alkohol MEN massa fräschör och riktigt följdsam. Första sippen var elektriskt kittlande. Fullkroppsvin som är fjäderlätt. Lät den iofs först ligga i karaff i 6h, men noll problem att dricka nu.
