March 18, 2023 - Having recently tried the 2011 Syrah ( An exceptional 93 from us) we had to try their Grenache too. Same cellar too at the excellent Compagnie des Vins Supernaturels, Paris.
The Grenache as pretty and welcoming as it is lacks the presence and depth on the palate and is very soft, light and has its best days behind it. That been said ever the old world style of wine as is their Syrah. Pretty 90 and drink sooner than later.
September 23, 2020 - Nice bright savory red fruit that paired nicely with butternut squash ravioli with cripsy sage in brown butter. Yummy stuff is the technical term I think. LOL
September 19, 2020 - Still drinking really well. My kind of Grenache. 13.7%
January 25, 2020 - Red and black fruit, spice, some herbs, tar and light tannins. Much improved from 2 years ago. Now entering the drinking window.
We had with Persian food from Taste of Persia (NYC - about to close) and it was a great pairing.
July 28, 2019 - Excellent showing... Very youthful, surprisingly big and ripe for the ABV. Rich red and black fruits, taut structure, generous tannins. Definte food oriented wine with many more years of development ahead of it.
June 7, 2017 - Coravin glass pour with lots of leftovers (roast herbal chicken, pork sausages with fennel, spicy pepperoni). Wine was more traditional, with black and red berries, but lacked pizazz. Perhaps needs time? Wine is quite puzzling. $20 close-out of last bottles.
April 15, 2017 - Coravin taste. Lots of red berries but not that complicated. Seems hard to pair with food. Maybe bottle shock right after arrival? Try again later. $20 sale price on last bottles.
November 25, 2016 - Bright and tasty. Drink soon.
September 22, 2016 - My last of these. Opened y/day. Drinks with some tannin still, alongside some cherry candy, red apple and some lingering spice in the finish. No fade here, hanging right in.
November 26, 2015 - Nice aromatic nose. Flowers and lightly smoked meat.
Palate came across light and a bit thin. Short finish and on the tart side. High in acid.
