Rich flavor, full mouth, dark berries — 22 days ago
Intensely aromatic Alsatian Grwurtz. Medium golden color. Expessive honeysuckle, dried rose petals, dried lavender, sweet spices and tropical fruits on the nose. The complex palate features Asian melon, guava and apricot fruit along with notes of those sweet spices and honey. A bit of mineral on the long and luxurious finish. Slightly oily texture. Medium body and acidity. Quite harmonious. — 3 months ago
I’ve been so eager to open the 2019 Les Cailloux, the first of a case that I bought a couple of years ago following a visit to C9DP during which I first tried the wine. This is an exemplary wine for the region, predominantly old-vine Grenache with around 30% (I think) other varieties, which is both powerful and pure, striking a lovely balance between a modern, terroir-driven style and the natural rusticity of the appellation. I enjoyed this so much I made no notes, so can’t say much more other than that I’m delighted to have a case of this and would recommend it to anyone interested in fresh, pure and ageworthy examples of Châteauneuf. — 24 days ago

After five minutes the funk blew off, revealing a light but powerful, fruit forward wine. — 3 months ago

This was fun. The cork was blown, and I ran the wine through some gauze 😝 I know the store didn't cellar this very well, so it was a crap shoot. The wine was in fantastic shape and still in its adolescence.
