Walk-around tasting; quick note. Subtle nose but really pretty palate. Ripe strawberry, hint of cherry jam, crushed stone, fresh with good acidity. Very nice.
Walk around tasting, quick note. From magnum, the nose is VERY orchard fruit: peaches, apricots, yellow apples, a hint of rose. Palate has jordan almonds, more orchard fruit.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru
Walk-around tasting; quick note only. Much riper and extracted style, maybe too fruity. Nose is candied red berries. Palate is a little darker and fresher but still not my fav.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Walk-around tasting, quick note only. This holds it's 16% abv really well. Plenty of acidity to balance the body. Quite pretty and powerful at the same time. Not flabby at all. This is the WOTN based on how much it exceeded expectations.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Walk-around tasting, only a quick note. Perhaps this suffered from being drank out of order; tasted after the big and bold and beautiful Janasse this was a little too light but not light enough to shake off that typical flabby sweetness I find a lot in Grenache.
