My Open That Bottle Night 2024 selection. This 22-year-old wine can hold for at least three to five more years. The wine is ruby in color, showing only the slightest rim variation. The nose has red and black fruits, particularly red currents, red and black cherries, and plums. There is also a hint of eucalyptus on the nose. The palate is amazing. There is an abundance of black fruits, such as cassis and black cherries. There is also forest floor and vanilla.

2015 PharaohMoans Grenache

Paso Robles more

12/25/2023 - trequer Likes this wine: 91 points

A juicy, round and pure grenache with some round and soft tannins. Full-bodied and round with smoke, meaty character and lots of ripe fruit. Opulent is the word. I was going to make beef and Fettuccini Alfredo, so I decanted the wine but I decided not to make the beef. I was concerned about the pairing, but it worked well.

12/16/2023 - trequer Likes this wine: 91 points

The color is a lovely pale yellow, which surprising for a 10-year-old bottle. The color suggests no more than three-five years old. This wine has a lovely nose, primarily petrol, followed by tropical fruits, lychee, and white fruits.

The wine is a dry Trocken, presenting pear, white apple, tropical fruits on the palate. There is an earthy minerality. The wine is medium bodied, with medium acidity, body, and legs, leading to a delightful finish.

We paired it with an incredible Thai meal of mussels in coconut broth, Spinach Salad, crab puffs, and eggplant with fresh basil.

A beautiful wine. The color was deeply purple with just the hint of rim variation. The nose presented ample dark fruits, especially cassis, dark plums and dark cherries. There is a chocolate, vanilla, and cigar box.

The palate has rich and softened tannins with minimal acidity. The dark fruits and other notes follow the nose. The finish is stellar. This is a balanced wine that can stand up at least another fice years.

This wine is a deep purple with little rim variation. The nose is cassia, blackberry, and liquorice. The dark fruits continue to dominate the fruit profile, then black pepper, cloves and even a hint of cinnamon providing a spicy backdrop on the palate. The finish is powerful but does not want for elegance.
