Crous St Martin

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2018

[80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre] Quite ripe and youthful, red fruits mostly, a touch of heat (14.5% ABV), but an enjoyable CdP nonetheless. — 9 days ago

I would call a 14.5 CDP “restrained” these days, and quite rare

@Tom Casagrande, sadly, I totally agree!!

Red Mountain DLD Cuvée Marcel Dupont Les Gosses Vineyard Syrah 2014

Ming L
9.4

This is my last bottle of this remarkable single vineyard Syrah, the first bottle consumed about 6 years ago.

The nose opens seamlessly with ripe plum, blueberry compote, and cassis before evolving into savory waves of smoked meat, dark cocoa, dried violet, and aged soy. The palate is full and silky, with a refined sweetness and integrated spice driving a long, savory finish. Still powerful but now balanced and restrained. In peak form.

Château Gloria Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

WOW!!!! 2017 Chateau Gloria Saint-Julien , Domaines MARTIN. - Bordeaux France!!!!!!! I have finally found an exceptional bordeaux that rocks my taste buds! The color is dark burgundy. The legs are long and slow. On the nose, there’s lots of rhubarb pie and violets! My initial pallet is tantalized with explosions of blueberries, boysenberries, cherries, and chocolate. The mid pallet quickly resolves into a velvety, slightly buttered texture. Then there is a dive straight to the finish with lots of earthy oak and cigar box with a very moderately dry finish. . This is a good one!!!!!! We purchased this in Ireland and brought it home to the USA. Unfortunately, we only bought one bottle which is already halfway gone and I’m sure as you’re reading this, it will be completely gone.  — 3 months ago
