Had high hopes for this, but unfortunately lacking acid and tension. Maybe better with the right food pairing.

Fresh with nice acidity, but alltogether way to young. Tight and dense with mineral / stony finish. Give it several years in the cellar.

Wow... tight and shut. Dense dark pinot fruit, licorice and a hint of earthy spicy notes. Somewhat better on night 2 but will hold my remaining bottes several years.

Somewhat tart on opening and definitely needed food. Better and more polished on day 2 and 3. Not complex, deep savory aromas but I was missing the pepper..

2015 Domaine Auguste Clape Le Vin des Amis

Vin de France Syrah more

10/27/2017 - oeivind Likes this wine: NR

Very young and tight. Stains the glass purple. After 3 days in the fridge the fruit becomes more sweet and the wine more balanced. Much denser compared to previous vintages. Great potential, but will need a couple of years.

Polished Rioja with sweet fruit, lots of vanilla from the barrels. Not overly complex but very easy to drink. Pairred well with lamb provencale. No need to wait for this.

2012 Domaine du Coulet (Matthieu Barret) Cornas Billes Noires

Syrah more

5/12/2017 - oeivind Likes this wine: 95 points

For me a stunning wine. Aired 1 hour in decanter. Exiting complex nose of game, bacon, black olives. Palate has same flavours with an additional strong mineral layer. Tannins approachable, not coarse at all. Deep but at the same time fresh and weightless mouthfeel. Surprised how well this performed at a relative young age.

Cooked fruit, volatile, band-aid / rubber and clearly flawed.
Bad storage or just unlucky bottle?

2011 Pietradolce Etna Archineri

Etna DOC Nerello Mascalese more

1/31/2017 - oeivind Likes this wine: 93 points

Light ruby. Tar, cedar, orange peel. Dry fruit but good acidity. Like a traditional Barolo from a great producer with a tight mineral grip on the finish. Excellent and will probably improve further with age if the fruit holds up. Need to buy more Etna.

2014 Charly Thevenet Régnié Grain & Granit

Gamay more

1/18/2017 - oeivind Does not like this wine: NR

Nose dominated by a iron/metallic taint. Quite volatile.
On the palate high acidity, good underlying fruit but again dominated by metallic aftertaste. Not enjoyable.
Could this be a manifestation of brett or other bacteria?
This was my only bottle so could not asses possible bottle variation.

2015 Domaine Gramenon Côtes du Rhône Sierra du Sud

Syrah more

1/6/2017 - oeivind Likes this wine: 91 points

Dark violet hue. Stains the glass. Nose with warm slightly sweet fruits.
Quite concetrated on the palate. Again sweet fruit. Soft tannins. But just enough acidity to provide balance.
Southern Rhone Syrah, but not heavy.
Not complex and still very young, but oh so juicy, alive and a pleasure to drink.
Kicking myself for not buying a whole case!

Straw yellow. Ripe white fruits and lots of acacia honey on the nose. Very good concentration and enough acidity to provide balance.
Has developed nicely the last couple of years and put on some flesh.

2014 Domaine Yves Cuilleron Syrah Les Candives

Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes more

9/14/2016 - oeivind Likes this wine: 88 points

A little bit less expressive and a bit more lean than the previous bottles. Still classic syrah fruit but no pepper or smokiness. Bought a case and this was no. 4 and the first to show a little variation from my initial impression.

Classic northern rhone syrah profile in a fresh light to medium bodied package. PnP. Notes of blackberry, pepper and a hint of smoke/bacon. A bit light in the mid palate but lovely freshness and acidity. Perfect everyday wine.
