The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 98 points
October 12, 2022 - Retail $200. 100% Grenache Noir. This wine has not yet been released, but it is good to know people in high places. Rare for both La Nerthe and Châteauneuf as this is a "non-blend." Quite simply, this might be the singular most amazing nose of a wine that I have ever experienced. Perfumed, floral, and incredibly fruity, this is a combination of aromas that I have never experienced. I literally sniffed this for close to 15 minutes before I tasted it. The palate is equally, if not more enticing; that same glorious mélange is present on the palate: incredible fruit, several layers of depth, silky tannins (suggesting years of potential cellaring), and a finish that is off the charts. I do not think I have ever given 100 points to a wine, but this is really close. Let me try this wine again in a decade. Please. Extraordinary.
