La Fiole Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

Brotte Barville La Fiole Vintage Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010, France

#AgedWineTuesday

Pretty color of light ruby with a light brick rim.

On the nose prunes, raisins and fresh red berries.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, light earth and peppercorn.

This 15-year-old red blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape feels very young, especially right out of the bottle, with lots of acidity to carry it much further. Complex and interesting. Elegant and rich.

An interesting wine with port-like aromas on the nose and feels very fresh on the palate.

Still young and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Delicious by itself as a sipping wine and good with food too.

A blend of mostly Grenache with Mourvedre, Syrah, Cinsault and 4 other local Varietals. Aged in French oak barrels for 10 years. A tiny production of only 900 bottles made.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$225.

14s in Chablis were (I have none left) so good. We may not see another growing season like that again.

Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay

a sweet nose of light bright fruit. Some green apple, delicate oak notes and citrus. A steeliness but some of the 15 sweetness with a light salinity and delicate shards of acidity. Young but approachable. — 6 hours ago

Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1962

A fuzzy and slightly dusty nose. Great focus. Intense… improving a lot in the glass. Slightly ungenerous at first but opening up nicely — a month ago

Super damn rich on the nose - fades a bit on the palate but this is all vintage. Warm and ripe. Wish I had some steak frites. — 2 months ago

Hochar Père & Fils Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2020

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing plums, red currants, cherries, earth, black coffee, light wood, spices, tobacco leaf, dark chocolates, black tea, bitter herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 5 year old Cincalt /Grenache blend is already drinking nicely. Complex and interesting. Spicy and soft.

Elegant and fruit forward with nice compliments of the earth notes.

Needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient.

Easy drinking and elegant. Would be interesting to try it again in 5 years.

A blend of 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in French Oak barrels for 6 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$40.
