Deep gold color with clear oxidation. I’m finding these wines with age are consistently oxidized

However, unlike the 2005 and 1997 - this wine still had a lot of life left

Really nice energy and fruit flavors that made this nice to drink once you adjusted to the oxidation — 8 days ago

I bought this cheap to splash into some braised short rib. Of course, I'll have more than the beef will.
It's good. Dusty and plenty of garrigue. Will pair well with the short rib if I can wait that long.

Found a few bottles of this Syrah-heavy CdR, by 1995 Guigal was making over 1 million bottles of this gem that I paid less than $10/bottle for on release, this bottle had 2-3 inches of ullage, suspect cork seemed glued into the bottle neck, yet fresh, crisp acidity, a little Brett, but great balance, medium-bodied, this wine will still evolve, really lovely, even though it’s still ultimately a CdR to drink on a Tuesday night with grilled sausage!! — 25 days ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Blend of about 66% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, Medium Ruby color with aromas of ripe black fruits and earthy pepper spice. On the palate complex rich flavors of cherry and blackberry, with oak, leather, cacao and earthy spice. Full body, well balanced, fine tannins, long finish, perfect now but will last another decade. Outstanding! — 2 months ago

A delicious and very complex white blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced.

Still young, but already very approachable and drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 16% Grenache Blanc, 16% Clairette, 16% Roussanne, 16% Picpoul, 16% Bourboulenc and 16% Picardan. Aged for 6 months on the lees.

14% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

A delicious Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining.

A great vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape that will show itself in the future.

Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and 5% local varieties. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.
