  P&P for my February bottle in the NW Wine Report 2024 Rhone Blend Challenge. Delicious wine, with lush black and blue fruits, vanilla, hints of white pepper and tobacco. In a great place right now, and this drank wonderfully over 2 days. Drink now - 2034.

  Quick 30 min decant. Bright red and black berry fruits, tobacco, sweet vanilla oak and milk chocolate flavors. Really approachable despite it's lack of age; these Parabellum wines are built to drink young. Super enjoyable wine though! Drink now - 2029.

  Rhone varieties in sweet and polished form, with minimal savory elements. Enjoyable for what it is, yet beware the alcy, which seems higher than the listed 14.8. A few years in bottle will likely round it out somewhat. 91-92.

  What can I say…these guys at Force Majure can make some darn good wine! Love this one. It is full of lush, succulent dark and mouthfilling fruits and smoke and pepper. Lovely depth to the aromas and flavors with wonderful tannins and a medium to long finish It is consistent with other Parabellum vintages I’ve tasted. Each of them has been such a pleasure to drink. You’ll love this one - young, but delivers a flavor profile of an older bottle. Drink now or hold and see how much better it can get.
