Seriously amazing! 3rd time having it, still could rest a few years and drink solidly.

Too much burn from the alcohol. A primary example of why I do not buy CdP outside of the most traditional of producers. #reignitin

This is a big boy. Tannins for days.

Quelle puissance ! Le plat accompagnateur n'était pas à la hauteur malheureusement.

Rack of Lamb is on the menu tonight and this delicious, easy drinking blend of Grenache and Syrah (80/20), from a unique vineyard footprint that lies in both CNDP and CDR, comes this 2020 Les Quartz from the h in igh quality southern Rhone, Les Clos du Caillou producer.

It displays a gorgeous, leggy, red berry appearance that is backed up by perfumed red and black berry aromas and flavors.

Overall, it is full bodied, lightly structured with a good balance of crisp acidity and light, dusty tannins, which together, deliver a delicious, mouth coating finish. (BTW, It worked beautifully with a sashimi grade tuna appetizer!)

Good wine. Very round and smooth. Fruity. Found from my neighborhood wine guy for $28.

Terrific value at $30. This village is within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape growing zone but in 1936 they refused to join the AOC. 

Magnum to start Cheyenne dinner at Brush Creek. Bright berries. Long finish.
