  February 1, 2020 - Notes for Château de la Négly Coteaux du Languedoc L'Ancely. Pristine bottle, high fill, only the bottom of cork is wet, very promising, the nose is a bit shy with dark tones, licorice and something burnt. The palate follows the nose, cassis and currants, raspberries, licorice entwined with salty sea breeze, hints of anise, very ripe and full bodied, low acidity and tannin level, good and enjoyable but a tad subdued and does not quite rise up to the level of the bottle tasted 2-3 years ago, serve chilled.

  December 26, 2012 - Good wine given a 3 hour decant but it never really shone like the bottle 5 years ago, cassis and liquorice trying to come thought but a bit solid and four square this time.

  June 26, 2012 - Salt, licorice, black fruit on the nose. Burnt wood, garrique, licorice, salt, lavender on the palate. What many Walla Walla wines want to be. ;-) You can feel the Mediterranean salt air cutting into this. Brise marine. Heavily extracted, low yields, this is an artisinal wine of aspiration. Perfect time to enjoy this now, as it is in a nice sweet spot in its evolution.

  December 14, 2011 - Dark coloured wine with an amazingly complex and ripe nose which combines freshness with secondary aromas. Aromas jump out of the glass: fresh fully ripe plum, kirsch, fig are some of the fruits that come to mind, it is also full of beautiful lifting floral violet nuances, mint and the tell-tale meaty Mourvedre notes. Coffee, licorice and chocolate are also present. Full bodied and sweet but in no way tiring this comes down in glugs. Structure is amazing as tannins and acidity help balance the immense concentration almost without being felt. Alcohol at 14.5% is fully integrated. Fantastic wine which changed a lot while in the glass. Comparable to the best CdP.
