September 18, 2022 - Superbe découverte que ce 2012. Complexe et superbe longueur.
December 15, 2019 - Genuinely enjoyed this Lirac, that according to Cellar Tracker should have been drunken by 2018. Compared to the bottles I drank back in 2016 and 2017, the tannins have rounded even more, making it a full bodied yet remarkably easy to drink, fruity yet elegant companion to my oven chicken and camarelised Brussels sprouts dinner. Hints of dark fruit, lovely sweet with enough acidity, just a hint of bitter but mostly the best of terroir and sun to remind us of his Chateauneuf Du Pape Origins.
May 11, 2017 - Drinking beautifully now
May 1, 2016 - Mont Redon lunch (The Hughenden Hotel, Woolahra): Spice, blackberry over red berry, slight spice, earthy elements, alcohol warmth, quite perfumed tinned peppercorns. Juicy peppery and spicy, a bit warm, bit of mid palate grip but still quite silky, not massively long. Hmm.
September 1, 2015 - Smells of stones baking under a hot sun. Raspberry and plum fruits are ripe but not overly so. It has good flesh in the mouth and a suggestion of tar. The finish is quite savoury and balance of the wine very good.
February 22, 2015 - Sec, corsé et fruité
November 30, 2014 - Rouge cerise assez intense avec de légers reflets orangés, le nez est d'intensité moyenne, avec des notes de fruits rouges, de cerises, d'épices, de bois, viandé. La bouche suit, d'intensité moyenne, fruits rouges, bois et épices surtout. L'équilibre est correct, avec une légère astringence. Un peu mince mais agréable.
October 27, 2014 - This was quite enjoyable. Can't remember the breakdown on the blend but great nose, much more balanced that the CDR. Nice finish, with a bit of oak.
