Decanted for over 30+ minutes. Medium garnet in colour with a light brick red rim. Nose of spicy pomegranates and red cherries, red plums, with some earthy forrest floor. On the palate, noticing some red cherries, strawberry fruits, plums, and a touch of dark unsweetened cocoa. A few mentioned the "rusticness" of this, and I tend to agree...has that bit of a CdP grenache-ness to it. Medium bodied with a medium+ finish.

Pnp with some fizz. Light translucent hay in colour. Nose of fresh cut green apples with a touch of melons and limes. On the palate, a light flavour profile of guavas and lime with a slight hint of minerality. Light bodied with a short+ finish.

Pnp and served chilled. Medium-deep hay-yellow in colour. Nose of fresh honeysuckles, apricots, mangoes, and lychees. On the palate, sweet mangoes with orange marmalade, a touch of brown sugar along with some roasted nuts a hint of ginger with a lychees aftertaste are noted. Medium bodied with a medium-long finish. Excellent stuff.

4/16/2022 2:58:00 PM - AMC Eagle, thanks for fanning me. I’ll be in one of your favourite areas (the Loire) later this year, the first time in over 30 years. Should be interesting
2/22/2022 9:53:00 AM - Hey AMC Eagle, thanks for fanning me! I noticed in your profile that you may have lived in Santa Fe? We're heading there later this Spring and curious about any recs you have for restaurants, things to do etc. Also, going to do route 66, see Taos and visit Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron NM. I hiked its back country as a scout in '69. Yea, I'm kind of old :).
Best

Like you, I have several vintages of Saint-Damien Gigondas in my cellar. You didn't mention Alsace, which is one of my favorites. Last night we opened a 2004 that was drinking wonderfully. And, btw, I agree with you about Kokoman! Don
3/23/2015 3:26:00 PM - If you live in New Mexico then your on my tasting radar...I love that state, been there many times, and have visited some of the wineries.
8/26/2013 8:04:00 PM - Hi Francophile(Andrew), Tim is actually wine-strategies and left that note on my board. I'm not a big user of the new CT, I prefer the old style. If you are ever in CO, please do try some of our Colorado wines. You'd be surprised at quality of some the wines here(and beer for sure!)
Cheers!

8/26/2013 8:00:00 PM - Hi Grinner(Mark), I used to live in NY and would drive my 1982 AMC Eagle(RIP) in all sorts of winter weather in upstate, still remember having to pull over in the side of the road to flip the switch and make it go to 4wd. My 1980 has all wheel drive so I don't have to pull over :)
Its good to know another CT user that knows AMC .
BTW, I was in Eugene a little over a year ago and my host took me to Lavelle's tasting room there and a few breweries(loved Ninkasi!)
Cheers!

8/25/2013 9:29:00 PM - Enjoyed your '05 Reignac note, and love your cellar choices. Your handle left me on the floor LMAO! In my family the AMC Eagle is famous for (~20 years ago) being rented in NY.NY for a trip up to Basin Harbor VT. My cousin and I drank way too much one night and he drove my side of the Eagle into a tree! Despite essentially being totaled, it got us back to NY where the lot attendant casually asked, "have a bit of trouble parking?"
Cheers, Mark.
8/25/2013 6:15:00 PM - Hello Tim (AMC Eagle): Thanks for your message, sorry for the delay in replying.
I am not often in CO and my job keeps me pretty close to home. I have not made my own wine or beer for many years but I did win several prizes in the UK for my wine. I have a few tales to tell about the experience too!
