Thursday night on the precipice of another closed in weekend. Tonight I have opened the 2017 Domaine Les Grands Bois Les 3 Soeurs Côte du Rhóne. A blend of 65% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 5% Carignan.

On the nose I am getting heavy savory notes, cured meat, black raspberry, black cherry, bacon fat, black pepper, burnt caramel, clove, cinnamon a d smokey oak.

On the palate there is black cherry, black raspberry, savory notes, smokey herbal notes, black pepper, licorice, baking spice and dark soil.

This wine is full bodied with medium + acidity and medium to medium + fine tannins that leads right into a long dark brooding finish. This wine is still very young and needs time to fill out to show it's true self. We are starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel for this pandemic we have been going through. Please continue to stay safe and continued health. Nostrovia!🍷🍷🍷🍷

If entry-level CdRs are any indication as to what we can expect from the top cuvées in 2015, the vintage might just live up to the hype. Opens with a distinct perfume that blends incense and black fruit, orange peel and fig, and chalk and spice. Despite how tight this is, the wine continues to unveil its additional layers on the palate, including espresso, pungent herbs, and a healthy dose of minerality.

Had this after a terrible CA cab so please forgive me for loving this upper middle class wine.

Great little wine. Seems to be more Grenache than Syrah, but I'm most likely wrong. Oh well, drink on!!

Savoury and earthy, with great depth of flavour. Can drink on own or with Lamb or duck or sausages and beef dishes!

It's a little flat, but deep and well-rounded. Fruit is a touch ambiguous; could use a touch more acid (surprising for a Rhone). Still, plenty of sun and soil. Presents as a lighter red, but with more depth.
Edit: Blasphemy. Slightly oxidized day 2 unsurprisingly trades smoothness for a bit of needed bite
