| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Papies on 8/19/2021 & rated 91 points: We could not but order this especially as it was priced well and an impossible wine to find these days. We are big lovers of GdP and we do consider it the best wine of the area .
The wine is definitely old and past its best and we are sure bottle variation here must be every high. Soft, tertiary, leathery, savory wine with all the hallmarks of age. Well behaved and healthy but just in that old age phase and definitely at the end of its journey. 91 (1052 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 4/14/2021 & rated 86 points: Leathery and savory, a pass. (1139 views) | | | Tasted by Andice on 3/13/2021 & rated 90 points: Smell like a well aged northern rhone, black pepper notes abundant. Tannins have fully resolved but not much fruit left to lend palate weight. There's a weird sour note at the finish. Not bad not great (926 views) | | | Tasted by eboracum on 11/29/2019 & rated 93 points: Some voices are casting doubt upon the place of La Grange des Pères as one of the great wines of Languedoc. I have no experience of recent vintages but I consider this bottle one of my best so far this year. Made from a cocktail of Mourvèdre (nearly 50% of plantings), Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, it is medium++ bodied with a silky texture showing mature plum tinged fruit, a lot of underlying roundness, touches of forest floor, streaks of game and balsam, fresh acidity, firm backbone and long finish. It is quite classical in shape with a Musar like elegance but without quite that oriental seductiveness and it revealed new facets to the last drop. Excellent. (1166 views) | | | Tasted by Dubie on 12/22/2011 & rated 90 points: I did not like the nose... could not figure it out. But what a wine on the palate! Very impressive. Could beat a Bordeaux GC hands down. Overpriced within the region, though. (4622 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/10/2011: Like the '95 tasted earlier in the year, even medium ruby without any traces of maturity. Lovely, pure black raspberry fruit that is joined by thyme and other herbs later on. Medium weight. Great focus and intensity of the fruit which is carried by a good twist of acidity rather than by tannins. The freshness, balance and expanding complexity of this wine are wondrous. I would never have guessed that Cabernet is a major component of the cepage. (4284 views) | | | Tasted by ispringett on 9/17/2010: Grange des Peres vertical (Robersons): Deep garnet. Developing nose with aromas of redcurrants, red cherries, a little dark chocolate but also a little green -makes me wonder if this is where the 2004 is headed. On the palate this is disappointing with the acidity sticking out, more attenuated fruit and heat on the finish. This seems to be cracking up? (5864 views) |
