Tryna stay sober through the evening. Fig, bacon fat, leather, plenty of eucalyptus and mint, a bit of oregano and cherry/pomegranate on the long finish. Wow! — 2 days ago

The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Les Safres checks in at 14.98% alcohol. A short élevage of four months in stainless steel neatly preserved the vivid freshness. Combining fragrant honeysuckle, yellow apple, lime flesh and white peach aromas, the medium- to full-bodied 2023 closes with persistence on the sapid finale. Production totaled only 2,593 bottles.

9.0

Deep yellow gold. Abundant nose of dried quince and yellow flowers. Echoed on the medium light palate with white pepper and a light bit of balsa wood. Medium acidity and a long, palate-continuing finish. An unusual combination of lightness and oak driven weight that tastes heavier than it is making an excellent starter and meal wine. Drink now through 2027. — a year ago

Pretty classic Bordeaux, leathery and grippy tannins but opening up to nice fruit. Subtle cassis notes. — 9 days ago

Slight purple tongue. Drinks like a cab. Not buttery. acidic on the tongue but not on the throat. Barnyard on the back end, but not in a bad way. Great 2nd bottle. — a year ago
