2016 vintage! Ripe and baked plum notes coincide with suede and black pepper pestled. Beef cheek, porcini and cola find blueberry and cedar. Exquisite mouthfeel of silken raspberry tinged with black pepper; tannins integrated, but tsunami suggestive. Black cherry, cinnamon, cedar, pepper, and oak. Generous, with clove assertive, and vanilla extract as a rinse. Palpably papal, where red is the staple.

1995 Beaucastel.
Touch of very old balsamic on the nose is tucked deep inside coffe rye, sage, loose tobacco, dried strawberry, black cherry, African violet and rosemary rubbed, grilled rack. Dark chocolate, espresso, dried violet, maduro tobacco, blackberry, cassis, and black pepper. Alive and well with great density despite melding smoothness and tannin integration. In a very sweet spot now!

Great density to this ruby/blood colored Saint. Earthy nose expresses shiitake and River reed, wet mud and new leather; cocoa dusted. Elegance and refinement on the fruit rich entry of raspberry reduction, ripe blackberry and blueberry, big fruit tannins, savory, licorice, lightest pepper, red cherry, subtle cinnamon and clove.

Delicious Rhône style blend from Paso Robles, central coast of California. Winery has partnership with #châteauneufdupape and the wine definitely reminds me of wine from that region. Amazing find from Astor Place. — 6 years ago

Sweet tobacco, chocolate, brown bread and black, plum, raspberry and blackberry, blueberry, black olive tapenade, sweet black jellybean, oak dust, and vanilla bean. Charred and tarry earth, dark leather, fire scorched clay, cinnamon, burnt brown sugar, graphite, smoke, dark, tart cherry, black olive, savory, brittle, and scorched nettle. Elegant mouthfeel and brooding complexity. Like a blackened aged steak. Really provocative!

Pretty solid #châteauneufdupape. Earthy fruit with a bit of tobacco and some spice on the nose. Like many CDPs, quite sweet up front, dark berry jam and medium acidity but pretty stout tannins towards the finish. I prefer a more dry style but a good CDP for the price. — 6 years ago
