February 16, 2023 - Decanted 2 hours. Needs air at this young age. Color is medium dark red. Palate is red fruits, licorice, spices, earth. Some acid, tannins, good balance. Medium to long finish. Nice.

September 10, 2022 - PHMG WAG: Tour de France 2022 (Chateau Lyon): 2 hour decant. This bottle was a great example of the genre for this crowd. More savory than fruity, there is Kirsch and blackberry liqueur followed by oodles of herbs, wet underbrush, leather, licorice and earth. Amazing blend of 13 grapes! Now-2030.

April 24, 2021 - The nose is red fruits and spice. The wine has a nice balance, with medium body, medium-plus fresh acidity, and medium tannins with a medium-long finish.

January 27, 2021 - Saje's 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a medium-to-deep garnet wine that is comprised of 80% Grenache and 20% other permitted varietals (including some Grenache Blanc). This particular bottle was Vinturi-decanted and serially tasted over the ensuing three hours. Shortly after decanting, it reveals an impressive bouquet of red bramble fruits, licorice, Asian spices, Provençal herbs and loamy earth. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, softly oaked, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%) and with light, silky-textured tannins, it stays dense on the mid-palate and finishes medium-to-long. This precocious Châteauneuf, showing beautifully now, will continue to do so over its first decade of life. Drink now-2025.
