| Tasted by gorm on 12/17/2009 & rated 93 points: Uncorked DK does 2007 Chateauneuf-du-Pape (Aarø & Co): Dark red. Very spicy nose with shoe polish, clove, cinnamon and tons of christmas spices and salty fishes. Tastes a bit like grand marnier with orange peel and loads of alcohol. Also very tannic. Does not appear integrated at this stage and is difficult to evaluate... (U94,4) (537 views) | |
| Tasted by campingfleurie on 11/16/2009 & rated 84 points: Parker clearly has an agenda in his recent partisan championing of this wine (awarding 99+ pts and including the remark “assuming anyone of human origin can actually resist this wine”). It suggests he’s actually aware of an alternative perspective. The ’05 Pure was the most upsettingly pointless wine I’ve ever drunk with a meal. The taster I most respect dismisses Barroche at mention as “spoofy tat”. He and I nonetheless sampled the ’07 Pure as it was available at a recent tasting which was otherwise mostly showcasing ‘Natural’ wines. Nose had coarse shots of red apple juice vinegar / acidity. Palate, a covering of gentle burnt sugar over soft plums. Flavours artificially sweet and simple; character hot and devoid of the textural dimension. It’s so sad to think how Parker is encouraging producers to take this stylistic and varietal direction. These are, profoundly and utterly, wines of the sweet shop, not of terroir. (763 views) | |
| Tasted by alanr on 11/9/2009 & rated 88 points: 2007 Chateauneuf tasting at Beltramos: Old Vine Grenache. Dominant VA on the nose, some ethyl acetate, quite ripe, sweet, over the top, lacking any CdP character. Doesn't have that 2003 roasted character, just far too ripe. (1085 views) | |

| Tasted by Philippe_C on 8/30/2009 & rated 96 points: Nose of cherries jam, brown sugar, meaty nose... port like in the month, very sweet, would be perfect with a dessert (2029 views) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 12/27/2008 & rated 96 points: Barrel sample, so this is not the final blend. A mouth full of primary fruits. This is powerful, youthful and elegant at the same time. Full bodied and loaded with fruits. This will be a great wine! (2520 views) | |
| Tasted by Philippe_C on 11/30/2008 & rated 99 points: Whaouw... this is wine is in the top 3 of the tasting!!! With a huge nose of ripe black and red cherries, "Belgian sirop de Liège", licorice.... Very very very long in the mounth, huge ripe black and red fruit, very refined and ripe tannins, good refreshing acidity... (bottle from barrel sample) (2724 views) |
