Even better than last year’s bottle, which I called “the devil’s work” and rated 95. So much more emerging and the finest, grainy tannins just melted on my palate. Burnt cocoa, velvety cassis. Never got warmed up due to Covid doors open. This has decades to go.

Evolving and improving still. Rich, ripe and hedonistically extracted. Secondary notes of blood and charcoal emerging, licorice and baking spice. Don’t let the angelic imagery fool you, this is the Devil’s work for sure. Many years to go.

Promise in a bottle, full throttle and beautifully extracted juice loaded with fig, pepper and spice. Sharp, powerful tannins suggest a 20 year wine with dark blue fruit to match. Can’t wait to see how this sorts out but my kids may be the ones who find out....

Fruit was falling off, still great depth of flavor.

This is a marvelous example of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape region. Hints of sulphur, great round developed flavour.
