Palate is so juicy and like icing on a cake. Gorgeous purity and depth and so clean. Wow. Nose of mineral and beeswax, butter and some grilled nuts. Wonderful rich texture and just the right amount of chewy. Dense and packed but so sleek and refined. The purity is stunning. Aromas of wet earth now and sweet oak. What energy and brilliance on the palate. — 3 days ago

Perfect drinking of 2016 vintage in early 2025. Lots of red fruit and good body. $17. — 3 months ago

Very nice Southern Rhône red from Stephane Vedeau, ex-footballer. 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah. 14.5% abv. Bold and big on flavor, but super fresh and precisely balanced. Vibrant red fruit with Mediterranean herbs. Just the right amount of tannins, and a very long finish, ending with dried berries and grass. Really sticks around. I’m surprised the overall Delectable ratings aren’t higher. This is great, and still very affordable for the quality. Paired with Byrd’s Eye View on 180g vinyl (Blue Note Tone Poet repress). — 5 days ago

Honeysuckle, apricot marmalade, persimmon.

Silken. Super balanced. Bought two. One to drink tonight and one to drink down the line.

Tropical fruits, balanced acidity, melts on the palate like a pad of butter made of wildflowers and honey. — 2 months ago

Raspberry and cherry fruits, with dried Mediterranean herbs. 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah. Not as bold as most CdPs. First bottle was corked, so it dampened my enthusiasm :(

This did hold up really well on the second day, especially when served cooler. The tannins relaxed, and the fruit is slightly sweeter and more blended. Benefits from the extra air - was pretty tight upon opening. Still great acidity and herbal finish. — 2 days ago
