Le Grand Vallon Condrieu Viognier 2004

Opened and decanted about an hour prior to service and presented double-blind. The wine appears deep yellow nearing gold in color; medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is vinous and super floral with peaches and marzipan and some signs of oak, a portion new French oak. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium- acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, weighty with a pronounced oily texture. Alcohol is elevated. I called Marsanne/Roussanne blend from France, Northern Rhône, Hermitage Blanc with 15+ years of age. Close! The florals and elevate alcohol should have steered me to Condrieu but that’s hindsight. Regardless, this was a delicious reminder to allow Northern Rhône whites to age. Drink now. — 2 months ago

l'Appel des Sereines Syrah 2020

Was given a sample of this at The Wave at Marblehead . . . it was delightful. Chocolate, blueberry, dark cherry, smoky, spicy, moderate tannins but at the same time fresh, bright, not overpowering. Hoping I’ll be able to find retail. — 2 months ago
