  July 20, 2021 - Balanced red fruit, earth and touch of wood. Very nice. At peak. Adding 2 years to drinking window.

  May 21, 2013 - Although it was not my intention, when I asked David if he imported wines to California, he run into the storeroom to bring me a bottle of the Cuvée Unique, the wine made for his CA importer (North Berkeley Imports). That was a great move from him since I always feel frustrated when I hear about wines one can only taste in one single country -think Clos St Jean’s Vieilles Vignes. Anyway, I was told that the importer wanted a cuvée which sees wood, a fact that isn’t common in Chateauneuf-du-Pape but apparently to the liking of his costumers. Apart from that huge factor, the Cuvée Unique, of which only 3000 bottles are produced, displays some creamy notes and chunks of vanilla, truly hiding the, although present, Provençal aromatics such as dark, confit berries. This is an interesting, unique thence educative effort. I just think it doesn’t have the great ageing potential of the regular wines produced by this estate. 89 points.
