February 25, 2024 - Ouvert une heure à l’avance, sans plus.
Nez de fruit noir, un peu de sel de céleri comme la précédente. On craindrait l’oxydation mais la bouche révèle qu’il n’en est rien.
La bouche est puissante, riche et gourmande, avec une rondeur considérable apportée par le ….16.4% d’alcool! On ne peut dire que l’alcool est discret. Le vin emplit la bouche et c’est imposant, plein de saveurs de fruits confits et d’épices. Mais franchement c’est un peu lassant à la longue car il manque de nuances et de complexité. J'aurais donné 89-90 pts environ...Mais 5-6 heures plus tard, il est nettement meilleur, plus expressif et davantage de fruit. Plus sage et savoureux. Au final 92-93 pts
Le lendemain, malgré le vacuvin, il est oxydé. -

November 11, 2023 - ESTG Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Huge, spicy, powerful, a massive wall of intensity. Alcohol is quite prominent, powerful, searing. Unevolved. Upon reveal, 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre.

November 3, 2023 - Decanted 2 hours. Great nose and powerful well-integrated palate. The high Mourvèdre content pairs well with the garlic in Greek tzatziki on gyros and kebobs. Perhaps a bit much on its own, but paired well it was excellent.

October 20, 2023 - Gang of 4 Sweet Lake Farewell tasting (@ RW): Luxurious bouquet with cigar, garrigue and dark berries. Same on the palate, sweet and salty licorice root, coffee, fresh acidity, round and soft tannin. Ready now, beautiful complexity and also enough power for another 3-5+ years.
