Complex aroma on opening. The taste was less strong when I had my second cup the following day. It was quite different in terms of richness of layering than my first bottle of Pinot gris. Love it and recommend! — 2 years ago

Grenache/syrah blend, biodynamic. Gourmet cuvée, medium body, juicy, on the purity of the fruit.. the two grape varieties are well respected and recognizable. A little refreshed, it's a lot of fun.
Assemblage grenache syrah, biodynamique. Cuvée gourmande, corps moyen, juteuse, sur la pureté du fruit.. les deux cépages sont bien respectés et reconnaissable. Un peu rafraîchi, c’est beaucoup de plaisir, c’est gouleyant à souhait. — 3 years ago
Light & fruity with some dark plum, anise & violet, a touch of roast. Fresh.
On the palate this is surprisingly light, juicy & lively. The cinsault really comes into play. Fruity, funky, with light tannins & juicy acidity. Fresh, crunchy fruit, a touch of bubblegum character, a herby note towards the finish.
So drinkable, and a lovely wine. Though might not be everyone’s cup of tea. — 4 years ago

Great CA Chardonnay. Balanced, not overly oaked, not really buttery. Fresh and delicious lemon, yellow apple, underripe pear. It doesn’t have the electric acidity of the Adank Swiss Chardonnay I just tried, but it’s delicious in its own softer, more subtle way. Speaking of Swiss, I’m using a cup for tonight’s cheese fondue on a snowy night. — 6 months ago
Bought while staying in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the 2016 Cuvée Vieilles Vignes from Domaine de la Charbonniere, a wine based largely on very old Grenache, is a powerhouse wine from this region that demands serious patience. Almost undrinkable on the first night, it performed better on the second having had plenty of air - but still, it’s a colossus of a wine that will doubtless have many fans. I have to admit, not really my cup of tea! — 3 years ago

Yeah, from a plastic cup. This is absolutely singing and showing zero signs of aging. Textured, layered and tannic. Nice espresso notes give way to black cherries and pure cassis. From magnum. — 10 days ago
