Reynaud wine tasting, Pure Spirits (Gallina restaurant): the bottle was opened 24 hours before and recorked 10 hours before the tasting, Served in a Syrah glass -/- The wine shows density, layered, spicy, earthy, there is ripeness of fruit, layered, then it thickens. A few herbal notes but way in the back, ripe and fresh next to overripe notes in the same time. With more time and air in the glass a few raisin notes emerge Palate is more upfront, big and textured, juicy fruit, red cherries, berries, great crunchy texture, elevated acidity, edgy tannins, med to full body, long finish Still very fresh and wildly different to La Pialade 2010 tasted alongside, feels huge and overripe next to it, less elegant than Pialade

Beautiful sour cherries and crushed strawberries nose. Starting to develop some lovely secondary flavours. Really good but will likely get better with nice richness and concentration

This is much darker than the 2015 which it was tasted up against. Dark cherry fruit, Christmas spices, garrigue. The fruit is fading just a bit. Some brown notes. I think it’s time to get going on this one.

En vacances à Greve in Chianti. Nez floral, orange sanguine, garrigue à fond. Le vin est frais et surtout d’une complexité exceptionnelle, c’est très long et tellement savoureux, un régal exceptionnel. Ces arômes me font vibrer d'une façon unique. Magnifique. 93 pts

Very ripe Grenache, very classic Reynaud-wine, plenty of sweetness, clear cut frit, just a whiff of alcohol at the end.
