Château Puech-Haut
La Closerie du Pic Syrah Blend
Not to my high rating liking. Good but probably wouldn't go for it again.

Dec 17th, 2017Opulent, dark, viscous. Glycerin out the wazoo. No heat despite the high alcohol content. The climate and terroir on full display. Would benefit from 1-2 more years in the bottle, but doesn't have the tannin structure for longer-term aging.

Jun 4th, 2017A powerhouse Languedoc red. Black fruit, olive tapenade, wet dirt. Not for the squeamish at 15% ABV but well balanced. This is a big, powerful wine. Pairs well with a grilled ribeye. Probably the best Languedoc that I have had. Plus, great label.
