Les Quartz Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

Lovely C9dP. Plum and black olives dominate in a complex palate. Beautiful balanced. The 15 alcohol is not a problem. It does not have a ‘dry’ finish. Very elegant. Sad it is my last bottle out of 6. — 8 days ago

Les Quartz Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2020

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!)

Given how light my most recent bottle of this was, I am dumbfounded that this 20-yr old is still kickin!

@Tom Casagrande, I don’t believe I bought this cuvée after 2005, but I likely have a few orphan bottles going back to 1998, 1999 and/or 2000? The older bottles have almost universally held up well for me. 🤷🤷
