True class here. Intense wine, not a heavy hitter, rather mineraldriven with plenty og garrigue and sweet Grenache. No signs of decline. #Bagnols-en-Forêt

A bit closed, somewhat rustic, stony, vertical, Grenache is in the background. Seems quite young, still, could be more to come here. #Bagnols-en-Forét#PB

Steve Sigmond's 50th Birthday (Minneapolis, MN): Mmmm, I loved this. Just the basic appellation wine from a fantastic vintage. This was screaming with precision and purity from the moment it hit the glass, cleaner and less weighty than the Celestins, less complicated, but also more direct and revealing. Just gorgeous.

Terroir Tuesday at TDS, A Reunion (Table Donkey & Stick, Logan Square, Chicago): Poured out a beautiful deep garnet color in the glass. Figs, purple plums, raspberry, herbs de provence (thyme stood out), with excellent acidity and ripeness in good check. Supple and engaging, the finish carried fruit and herbal flavors more than all others. This likely saw extended aging in very old foudre but as usual showed no signs of oxidation. Approaching plateau of maturity.

Le grand pied bleu ! Robe légèrement évoluée mais encore dense. Le nez est séducteur en diable, beaucoup de fruits rouge encore, des épices. La bouche est suave, toute en fruit, gourmande. Tout à fait délicieux. A point, bien qu'il pourra tenir encore de longues années, mais là l'éclat du fruit et la gourmandise sont irrésistibles.
