Sharp and intensive with grapefruit and green chile notes. Really classic NZ sav blanc.

Quite nice. Black cherry, touch of olive and mushroom. Great match with salmon.

2/10/2023 2:30:00 PM - I think you will find the 2019 Clos des Papes is very much happy to be consumed now. Bear in mind though that I generally prefer Grenache based wines younger than older, because there are lots of things about Grenache that I dislike as the wine ages. That's a subjective thing, as one of the greatest wines I have ever had was a Chateau Rayas (damned near 100% Grenache) from 2003 (a not particularly great, very hot year) at 18 years of age. If you like your Grenache based wines with age, this one has a very long life ahead of it. I see you are from JJ Cale's home state - consequently, some of his glory rubs off on you. Wishing you good drinking.
