Introduction

I'm still not clear on the theme, but this is what we drank.

Flight 1 (1 Note)

Flight 2 (3 Notes)

  • 2001 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 89 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Regrettably, this was not a great showing for this wine. Drank single blind it was quite clear this was the 2001 Clos des Papes. It seemed to be fading, had rugged and rustic elements of anise and horse funk.

  • 2014 Miner Family Cabernet Sauvignon Benedetto 92 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Drank single blind, I guessed the wine correctly because I assumed Miner would be modern Napa of good pedigree and flashy. That's what this was. Blue fruit, tobacco, modern, plummy fruit, nice earth. 92 or higher based on your preferences.

  • 2012 Roger Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Secret des Sabon 93 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Drank single blind, I brought this and guessed it correctly. I have a feeling Roger Sabon is a bit more modern producer and this wine would agree. Flashy red to almost blue fruit. Kirsch, herbs, earth. This is drinking well now, although not a rockstar, and I really hope it will age well, but I don't know if it will.
