Domaine de Thalabert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2015
Beautiful glass filling nose with flowers and tar followed by dark bramble, smoke, leather and liquorice. Pretty chewy tannines and a long finish. Wine got very divergent notes and ratings on ct but I am liking this a lot. No blockbuster over extracted powerhouse but freshness and complexity. Very glad to have 5 more. — 2 months ago

Cuvée des Templiers Vacqueyras Rouge Grenache Blend 2021
Always love this wine. So complete and balanced, especially in cooler vintages. Welcoming nose of dark fruits, some funky stable and of course garique. Fresh palate with laurel, leather and some bitters. This can age gracefully. — 18 days ago

Lalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2012
Nice - love magnums, especially for wines with modest origin. It creates surprises.
Mags also really slow down pace of ageing I think. This one felt fresher than one could expect from a ‘12 Lalande.
