Had to take a pic of the back label because the front is, um, non-optimally informative. Anyhoo, this is a terrific Zin. Nose has classic spicy blackberry fruit, together with a prominent sandstoney, gravelly note. A bit of smoky balsa wood too. In the mouth it’s nicely balanced, with deep fruit, not jammy at all, and a very “claret-like” sense of structure and restraint. Alcohol 14.7%, which is commendable for Zin. I like this a lot. — 17 days ago

2017 “GSC” Grenache blend with Syrah and Cinsault. Dry on the palatte. No distinctive aroma but very enjoyable by itself or with food.

We’re snowed ❄️ in on a Friday night and decided to imbibe this generously gifted Chateau Potelle, VGS Vintage 2010, ABV 14.5%. It’s predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside Merlot, from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley, California. 🍷 🇺🇸

Wow, aromas and flavors are exuberant, concentrated, rich, and span a spectrum of characteristics from candied plum, ripe black cherry, and crème de cassis to black olive and crushed violet, to nutmeg, cardamom, and clove, to leather, tobacco, smoke, meat, and earth.

Tannins and mouthfeel are supple and smooth. Acidity is present, lending balance.

This wine is bold and is drinking beautifully now, though it has potential for further aging.

Cheers!
