Wild and smoky, presenting deep ruby in the glass. Palate is stylish and peppery with alcohol in check. Possibly whole cluster? Violets and coffee grounds come around with air. Guessed Faury St. Joseph 2015 blind, a’thank you! — 8 days ago

Outstanding viognier from this legendary producer. Father’s Day gift from my son so I popped it immediately but I bet this would be amazing 5+ years from now! — 17 days ago

First thought is that I lack the vocabulary for this one, as alas, don’t get to try these legends too often. Nose leads with pure smoked meat, cherry-licorice liqueur (without the alcohol whiff) and something I can only call “magical spice concoction” Palate hits first the side with acid freshness (hello! Where did you come from?) then unwinds the long and complex licorice and boysenberry melange that is already approachable with with enough sandiness in the tannins to show higher promise in the future. Texture hits with smoky bacon fat and carried everything for 30 seconds plus — 12 days ago

Massive in the glass and massive in flavour. Chapoutier is one of my favourite producers and wines like this are the reason! — 4 days ago

Punching above its weight class. Super Marsanne! Zippy and fleshy fruit. Great value for the $. — 10 days ago

Dynamite! Wow! Olives, black pepper, stems, the complexity here is incredible. I love these herbal savory elements. — 7 days ago

Fantastic wine. Not as herbal as the Jamet Cote Rotie, not as ripe as the Guigal La Turque. Firm tannins. — 7 days ago
