  March 5, 2022 - I toke the wine to the restaurant for a great meal ! Dropped it at noon and ask them to open the wine and decant it 3 hours before dinner and this after reading the previous tasting notes
  In the nose it was a nuclear red fruit and cherry bom , really a blockbuster maybe even a light smell of coll. This wine is much to early to open , it needs another 15/20 years , in the mouth it was still closed and didn’t reveal all his flavors , a little unbalanced for now ! But that could grow through a better balance nose mouth in the coming years ! It would not surprise me if this wine will get higher points in 10 years from now…it was also extreme long on the palate , if there was one negative point , it was maybe that for me it had a lactic finish that was there till the end , but when the wine will age it could vanish ! But price quality it’s fantastic !

  January 22, 2022 - Deep purple, looks a bit viscous in the glass. At this stage the nose is tightly coiled but centers on cooler blue fruits, hints of ginger and lemon verbena tea. On the palate, richly flavorful and intense, with the fruit picked just slightly on the tart side giving an interesting a balance to the very long palate. An excellent Chateauneuf that will need a few years to really show its best. I would probably not drink this right now: the wine is really very closed. By age five or six, it should it s first window of drinking, but really would reward patience. From a cool cellar, it should reach its peak around age twelve to fifteen. Right now, 91. But at peak this will surely be a 95pt bottle.

  October 14, 2021 - Retail $110. DIAM 30. 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, 5% Syrah, 5% Vaccarese. Even though I have been there a couple of times, I do not have a ton of experience with Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Sure, I have dabbled with the Grenache-dominant region, but I would never say that I was anywhere close to an "expert." Well, that might need to change. Whoa. This is just a baby but this is loaded with dark berry fruit (cassis, black cherry, blackberry), garrigue, black pepper, touches of chocolate, and fresh pencil shavings. The palate is rich, fruity, tart, and layered. Holy. Cow. While this is great from the jump, it only gets better with increased exposure to air. Yowza.
