Community Tasting Notes 4

  May 10, 2018 - Rather raisiny and porty initially, but after 3 hours and 15 minutes it finally opened up revealing more garrigue and fairy dust, and a looong finish. Would have made a great pairing with lamb. 15.5% ABV with absolutely no heat.

  January 14, 2018 - Second Sunday Group: 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Barb's): Vivid ruby red color- looks like a pinot. Cherry and spice aromas at the outset, developing a pretty floral note to accompany the red berry fruit. Red berry fruit on the palate, with medium tannins and acidity. Clean and bright. It may look like pinot, but it doesn't taste like pinot. 88+ pts.

  August 21, 2017 - Polished, silky and fresh, the fruits are ripe, sweet and delicious. Loads of kirsch here on the palate and nose, with even more fruit in the juicy, elegant, fresh finish. The wine was made from 100% old vine Grenache from vines located in the La Crau lieu-dit.

  April 8, 2017 - Printemps du Châteauneuf-du-Pape tasting. (La salle des fêtes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape): Just very few notes. Juicy and round, very clean, beautiful acidity, tannin and bitterness. A delicious wine already and a good future as well. 93+
