This wine had a deep red/purple center with red/orange rims. Its medium intensity nose generated roasted meat, plums, mocha, and mineral notes.

Rich and ripe in the mouth with great balance and length, this was very young and likely had several points of upside.

Hold for 10+ years or decant at breakfast!

Whoa, now THIS is different! The most strawberry on the nose that I’ve ever come across, and a touch of, I dunno…wet grass maybe? High acid but still balanced. Enjoyed with roast chicken and fennel.

Direkt nach dem Öffnen sehr verschlossen, scheint insgesamt momentan in einer Übergangsphase zu sein.

Ich habe den Wein entsprechend karaffiert und über mehrere Stunden getrunken.

In der Nase finde ich Heidelbeere, Gewürze wie sehr fein gemahlenen Pfeffer, Nelke, Piment, etwas Paprika-Pulver, eher zurückhaltende Provence-Kräuter und sehr feinen Rauch. Dazu fein-ätherische, phenolische Frische, wohl präsent aber auch eher zurückhaltend.

Am Gaumen hat es einerseits eine tomatig-fleischige Üppigkeit (wie diesen unfassbar befriedigenden Biß in eine Gabel voll Lasagne), anderseits ist der Wein sehr fein und mit festem, dunklem Kern. Viele einfache CdR driften hier schnell in plumpe Rumtopf-Pflaume-Weißpfeffer-Gefilde ab, dieser Syrah bleibt immer auf der elegant-würzigen Seite. Trotzdem ist es gegenüber der Nord-Rhône ein eigener, weil etwas wärmerer, etwas ausladender Stil und hat nicht die dort zumindest von mir oft gefundenen Graphit-Noten.

Im Abgang trocknet es noch leicht. Trotzdem bleibt es recht lang und ich bin zuversichtlich, dass sich das über die nächsten 2-3 Jahre noch deutlich strafft.

2016 Celler Comunica Montsant La Peluda

 Garnatxa Peluda, Grenache more

‘La Peluda’ is made with 100 percent Garnatxa Peluda (Hairy Grenache), sourced from a small plot of 80–90 years old vines of the Mas d'en Cosme estate (calcareous clay and slate soils). A rich and very elegant wine that was aged for twelve months in stainless steel on its fine lees. Only 1200 bottles were made. Deep ruby-red in color and a fragrant nose of ripe red berries, orange peel, licorice and hints of leather and red pepper. The complex and extremely well-balanced palate is marked by intense plum and cherry fruit, a velvety structure, harmonious tannins and a fine refreshing acidity. Long delicious finish. A very enjoyable wine, drink it now and over the next 3–4 years.

Een 100 percent Garnatxa Peluda-wijn, geteeld in een klein perceel van het wijngoed ‘Mas d'en Cosme’ (80 tot 90 jaar oude stokken, kalk-klei en leisteenbodems). Een rijkelijke en zeer elegante wijn die een rijping van twaalf maanden ‘sur lie’ op roestvrij staal meekreeg. Er werden slechts 1200 flessen geproduceerd. Diep robijnrood van kleur en een overtuigende neus van rijpe rode bessen, sinaasappelschil, zoethout en wat nuances van leder en rode peper. Een complexe en fraai uitgebalanceerde wijn, gekenmerkt door intens pruimen- en kersenfruit, met een fluwelige structuur, harmonieuze tannines en een fijne, verfrissende aciditeit. Lange heerlijke finale. Een bijzonder aangename wijn; drink hem nu en in de komende 3–4 jaar.

2007 Thierry Allemand Cornas Chaillot

Purchased on release. Decanted 3h before serving. Gorgeous old school Cornas nose of black pepper, smoked meat and crushed rock, accented by black licorice, herbs and blue flowers. The flavors are wild and complex with shoe leather, game meat, green pepper and black fruits. The palate is a bit thin, at least compared to the knockout nose, and it seemed to tire a bit with air, so I am not sure this will make old bones. Very good but not transcendent, as many Allemand wines can be.

Meaty nose, laden with granite and geranium notes. Elegant and floral, like a Cote Rotie, but with a chewy finish. Needs time but approachable now with air (I used a Vinturi). Good value in traditional Cornas.
