4/30/2024 - Vinumming & Ahhing Likes this wine: 90 pointsReading Offline #1 - Alino's Thames Lido Dinner - Mixed Whites and Reds (The Thames Lido, Reading): Some redcurrant jelly and hints of raspberry ripple ice creaminess. Some roasting sweet chestnuts too. Palate sweet smoky and spicy. Some overripe plums and after some time hints of strawberry coulis. If this trio had been served blind I don't think it would have been called out as a 2003. |

4/1/2024 - VlgJeff Likes this wine: 95 pointsDecanted for one hour with lots of sediment -- standing the bottle upright two days before opening helped. The wine continued to open during the meal. A dark red color to the rim. Plenty of dark fruit (black cherry, blackberry, raspberry, currant), spice, and even a touch of black licorice on the medium plus bodied palate. No hints of cooked fruit or the 14.5% abv. Crisp and balancing acidity with well-integrated tannins. Hard to believe that this bruiser of a wine is 100% Grenache! Should continue to hold and delight for several years. |

4/24/2024 - Crunge Likes this wine: 96 pointsAmazing. I didn't get much on the nose even with swirling but the flavor... Fruit-forward cherries and raspberries with a hint of gravel underneath. No alcohol burn, tannins present but only if you asked to see them. Such perfect balance. PnP at cellar temp and paired with sous vide ribeye. My wife was equally impressed (with the wine, not me.) |

4/13/2024 - neilsforest wrote: NRThis has been a very problematic producer for this vintage. Decanted for c 1.5 hours. Again some rather unpleasant medicinal fumes taste. But got better as evening proceeded. Drunk alongside 2003 Clos des papes and 1999 Pegau Feter c 4 hours this wine became drinkable. In summary all 6 bottles have ranged from being undrinkable to very hard work. |

4/9/2024 - Erik Snel Likes this wine: 99 pointsAt holiday end 4,5 years ago, I bought this bottle at Pierre Ussiglio’s winery during a hit and run visit (still 1150 km’s to go). It was not easy to get through the Chateaneuf village because the folks were celebrating the ‘Veraison’. But I was happy to get some bottles, including these whites, knowing that these are not easy to get. It seems be now at it’s peak. Not complex, but fresh fruity, flowers, almonds and a lot of drinking pleasure. |

4/4/2024 - tantotinto wrote: 94 pointsTasted initially after an hour in a decanter. Smooth, savory and juicy. Full flavored but not big, Blackberry, blueberry and spice. More mellow and elegant than I expected. A touch of sweet and licorice. A very satisfying wine. |

3/21/2024 - tedcholl Likes this wine: 97 pointsI've had several 2016 CdP and am very impressed with the vintage. This is the first Reserve I've seen. 100% Grenache. A monster of a wine. Bold, complex, with great depth and intensity of flavors. Very long finish. Very dark color. Fruits were rich and voluptuous. Cherry, blackberry, blueberry, earthy notes, smoke. Great paired with roasted goat! |

3/13/2024 - Sanlucar Likes this wine: 92 pointsPossessing much less complexity than their lower level bottles; the 2007 Cuvee de mon Aieul is very fruity, one dimensional, and wildly overpriced. Very dark and reduced; it's a bit smokey with a lightly spiced finished. Alcoholic mid-palate (15%) quickly dries out and leaves a heavy note of oak and somewhat green tobacco. This seems to be a case of over-manipulation and heavy-handed winemaking; if they would have done less, it might have ended with a better result. Do you find this review helpful?

3/6/2024 - mxpbuy Likes this wine: 94 pointsSampled over three nights with vin-vac in between each. The third night was the best. Although still some stiff tannins present, they smoothed out by the 3rd night. Plenty of black pepper to go with extremely vibrant and overripe raspberry and wineberry notes. Some black fruits, dried herbs, Oak and gravel as well. In many ways a typical high class CDP Grenache but with is own distinctive signature nonetheless. |

12/16/2023 - lung2297 Likes this wine: 93 pointsStill very good condition, lively, young and energetic. A bright but deep and complex black fruit with herbal notes. Velvety under the very good integration of tannin. Long aftertaste. Difficult to guess its a granache dominated wine. |
