Intense savoury cherry. See previous Delectable note. Vacqueyras - 2nd only to Gigondas for Côtes du Rhône villages. This wine was 70% Grenache (over 60 years old), 15% Syrah (40 years old) and 15% Mourvèdre (40 years old). Tends to be slightly more rustic than Gigondas although this was very satisfying and good QPR. Alcohol a bit high at 14.5%. — 2 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 “Beauroy” pours light straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of green apple, lemon/lime citrus, lemon curd, honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes form the nose. The finish is long and a touch rich for a 2021 Chablis. Compared to some other ‘21’s I’ve recently had, this came across more round. Very good. Drink now through 2031. — 5 months ago

9.4

A whiff of high quality Syrah which goes without saying. More savoury than fruit driven and at 8 years, leathery. A trace of oak. Not near as fruity as high quality Australian Shiraz. Cornas - Earlier maturing than Hermitage on the opposite bank and to the north. — 7 months ago

Leans into its carbonic character, with a confectionary nose of bright cherry-plum bubble gum, loads of granite, and almost a subtle just-dug root vegetable note. In the mouth it has an initial belt of high/toned fruit, but then slims down and eases into a lean feel, with fine, chalky minerality being the last characteristic. Definitely on the lighter side but quite flavorful. Seems a little disjointed and would probably benefit from another year or so in the bottle to come together. — 6 months ago

So good! The wine is white gold in color with a fine sparkle. A flowery nose of great complexity, with notes of citrus and white peaches. A wine that is very present with a lively attack and great finesse with good minerality and notes of grapefruit on the finish. — 8 months ago

Been awhile since I have had this…a good revisit. I’m sure my historical notes on this still stand.

My cherry tomatoes are in full streaming mode. So good. Especially, with burrata.

Try this with your garden cherry tomatoes or ones from the farmers market. Slice in halves, drizzle nicely but not over w/ olive oil, squeeze some fresh lemon, add Maldon salt to taste and fresh basil strips. Mix & let stand 10-15 before enjoying. It is the most authentic presentation of Italian cuisine I have known outside Italy. — 3 months ago

First taste? That typical purple color but nose is well resolved with primary fruit having evolved into an intriguing dark berries earthy profile with a tinge of mintiness. Lovely and lively palate. Nice. — 5 months ago

A well made wine and a creature of the vintage.

Nose: plum. Some dark mashed flowers.

Palate: rich. Plum. Cinnamon. Cocoa.

A prefer some more verve but other will love this.
