Closerie De L'arène

Sine Qua Non

Trouver l'Arène Syrah 2015

2015 vintage. Opened with a Durand, decanted with minimal sed, and tasted after 20 minutes and one hour. Decided woofer. Darker than the proverbial soul of a hit(wo)man...er...moonless night. Slight amount of initial, buy-in with the merest hint of tartness before slipping into the classic (arena), crunchy rock solo (go with your favorite-so many good ones) on repeat. Richness. Structure. Depth. Levity. Self-awareness (just messing). Power. Nuance. Another 15-spot wouldn't hurt as this be a relative infant currently and, in another 15 years, it's likely still too youthful. 10.05.25. — 3 days ago

Had a few of these, drank one on release. Obviously way too early but I was curious. Flipped the rest on Auction

CLOSERIE DU PELAN

Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

A bit of sweetness after so many dry Italians. Still, this proves either it’s pedigree or vintage, maybe both. — 7 months ago

Château Puech-Haut

La Closerie du Pic Syrah Blend 2015

Aroma on this one is much more subtle on the fruit instead embracing dessert flavors of vanilla, chocolate, and butterscotch (maybe a subtle hint of diacetyl). Some oak aromas ground out the deserts. Lots of cocoa on the palette and with mild subdued tannins and a light acidity on the finish. — 9 months ago
