Quite rich with somewhat exotic notes, but there is flinty feel as well, good acidity, keeps the vertical feel. Chalk, citrus, confit citron - quite complex.

Fine, underlying sweetness her; pepper, tar, olives, chocolate, smoke, very South African Shiraz, would be great with a steak au poivre.

Full bodied with good acidty, tannin, spice and a very ripe, sweet fruit. Young, certainly, tasted over two days, does not move -

Perfectly mature and still quite dynamic and intense. Citrus throughout, minerals, hints of honey. Quite lean, vertical, elegant, not the buttery bomb of old.

Still going very strong indeed. Rich, creamy, sweet, intense mineral notes, confit d'orange.

Juicy, refreshing, upliftning with plenty of strawberries and a sound . delightful Pinot-feel. Good acidity, ripe fruit. A pooor mans Burgundy. 90+

Quite tight and even a bit green, sound fruit behind, a wee bit tannic, end dry, certainly better with food. Could gain a point with time, but I'm not sure. Serve chilled.

5/1/2024 - beatles wrote:

Very fresh, but just a bit marked by the vintage; initially some harsh, heated notes, gets better with air. Still, I dont see an upside here. Too expensive, anyway.

Very true to the grape, bitter sweet with herbs galore. Sound, clean fruit and there is potential here, I think - for the acidity to settle down.

4/30/2024 - beatles wrote:

Bitter cherries, orange peel, oxidized notes, plenty of herbs, sound local feel, good acidity; excentric wine, certainly a food wine.

Tasted vis-a-vis the normal cuvéee, this is fuller, richer, sweeter - and more polished with a less local, less excentric feel. Fine concentration, very ripe fruit.

Dark salmon. A bit roasted, spice with a sound sweetness behind. Very much a wine, not just a rosé. Strawberry, ginger, orange peel. Layered and interesting.

Pink fruit, very Provence. Short, but clean, quite elegant. Refreshing, light, sweet fruit, end on an elegant bitter note.

Spicy, peppery, manly but not as hard, as I had expected. Dark matter, tobacco, chocolate, some tannin.

Quite open, rich and spicy with a lovely local feel, that transfers you to the Southern France. More straight forward the the Tempier and with slightly less depth, this remains a great, great rosé that will certainly age well.

Salmon coloured. Too young. Very concentrated, quite sweet fruit. Round, sweet with an elegant, bitter finish, orangepeel, ginger. Very refined indeed. 92+

Colour is like a light red wine, almost, very dark pink. Soplenty of spice and fred fruit oin the nose, herbal, local, orangepeel here, strawberries with good acidity. This on is too young IMHO, needs a couple of years to relax and open. Shall see tomorrow.

Fresh and juicy, round and quite friendly, Blackberries, chocolate in the background. Quite sexy. Open for business, and while still primary, I don't see alt of upside here.

4/27/2024 - beatles wrote:

Was a little suspicious about the cork, but the wine is fine. Plenty of chocolate and tobacco going, a rich, manly wine (as it should be), oak completely integrated at this point. Mature, but in no way declining.

Extremely for an Aligoté. Vibrant intense with accent on the minerals. Light, but with a core of ripe fruit, holding it's own. Citrus thoughout.

So fühlt man Absicht - yes, the oak treatment here is certainly a bit commercial, and I would love one day to taste a version of this wine without the Phil Spector-treatment. But it's keeping very well for a 2009 ...

Dusty, vertical feel, classic Cab with plenty of ripe black berries and a lovely local hint; some smoke, chalk at the end. Impressive wine, true to it's origins.

4/26/2024 - beatles wrote:

This is pure juice and must be one of the best buys out there. Still very primary, albeit quite relaxed and way too easy to drink. Powerful, local, spicy, rich; loved it yesterdays, feeling it today.

4/24/2024 - beatles wrote:

Still a heavy; alcohol showing (must be more than the 14,5 showing on the back label). Deep ripe fruit, sweet Grenache, Arabian spice, not for the faint of heart, a real Cambie-neuf - makes one think of him, which I guess, is all right.

4/23/2024 - beatles wrote:

Orange confit, minerals, dry feel, quite layered, hard to place (no Sémillon here). A cheese wine, I think, ends with good acidity. Very nice, but non distinct.

4/22/2024 - beatles wrote:

Tasted over 2 days, dries out on day 2. Kirsch, primary fruit, but also alcohol showing at the end. Seems a wee bit extracted. Drink up IMHO.

4/21/2024 - beatles wrote:

Popped and poured. Still a young wine, but it comes across (maybe surprisingly) as unforced, relaxed with plenty of Grenache-sweetness and local garrigue. Yes, the is a bit of dry alcohol on the finish.

Young, but approachable, certainly with a good ribeye. Chocolate, tobacco, sweet black fruit, intense, concentrated. Will keep well for 10 years, hard to resist now - nor should you.

Dry, plenty concentrated, chocolate, roundness, drinking a point with plenty if primary fruit: I agree with former tasters, no need to keep this, while very nice, it's not build for long ageing.

Spicy, rich with solid fruit. Good acididity, exotic notes, but the minerals are up front. Showing qualities of a good condrieu - while still a country wine.

Young, certainly, and too cool for school. Peppery, green pepper also, true blue fruit, unevolved, but certainly showing class.
