Initially this shows excessive nail polish (volatile acidity), still nice color, but ultimately a drain pour, sad.. — 2 days ago

After giving up on the flawed 1990 Clos des Papes, this rich, lovely Lirac is beautiful tonight, with promise for 5+ more years of positive development, very fine! — 2 days ago

My impressions are very similar to my April 2025 bottle of this @Dave wine, mostly old vine Syrah from Pierre Clavel’s “La Mejanelle” vineyard, with small dollops of Mourvèdre and Grenache, low levels of Brett show (so, if you’re very sensitive to Brett, YMMV), solid finish, very good Languedoc!! — a day ago

This is a beautiful and graceful older Chateauneuf-du-Pape, mature and nicely balanced, still some decent fruit, longish finish, time to drink up — 2 days ago

Like the first bottle from 9 months ago, shows lots of SO2 (burnt match) aromas initially, also lemon and mineral, very good balancing acidity, longish, satisfying finish. — 5 days ago
