Mar 28th, 2015Nose is full of pork and berries. Palette is cacao nibs and savory chambord (yeah that's a thing now). Clearly young, super hot. Still delicious.

Nov 26th, 2014Clean nose. Raspberry blackberry and clove (which I don't get on Chareauneuf do Papes). A little bit of light, powdered sugar
This wine is enormous. Bombastic tannins, bitter black chocolate, fresh raspberry jam from a roadside stand.
Immature. Still getting its shit together, but huge potential. 3-4 years away from being ready to drink unless you decant it all day.

Old vine low yielding Grenache, fully destemmed, class A terroir and one of the most respected producers of the region behind the wheel. Pure, layered and extremely dense with a true and honest transparancy. Yet a bit unleashed on the nose, but my lord is this wine giving you a ride! The flavor confirms the high qualities, totally balanced, intense, a superb fatigue with an ever lasting length. Stunning!
