Quite delicious and very long on the palate.
I would buy it again, in a heartbeat.

2015 Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône La Réserve

This is CdR on steroids!!
By any other name, a very, very good CH9dP but heck, it's a CdR.
And yes, I do know the back story, that is why I buy it.
The huge plumy aroma soars from the glass, the not TOO rich wine coats the palate and goes on and on. Not obtrusively tannic either.
If you have some, then get stuck in.
It has easily a decade of drinkability ahead of it.
Not for the fainthearted, this IS one for Rhone lovers.
The 2016 of this cuvee is reputed to be even better, that is truly scary.

2015 Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay

Sylvain Pataille in my experience never fails to please.
Medium bodied Pinot with no obtrusive tannin, that is so obviously Northern Hemisphere. Red fruited nose and great cherry on the palate, without a hint of obvious sweetness - so attractively "lean!!" Never had a bad bottle.
This wine, year on year is great value for money and is a "go to" cuvee.
