2016. Stunning. Expressive and detailed. Rich nose with cinsault showing. Pretty red fruit. Long finish. Excellent. — a month ago
2021. High acidity which dominates. I bet it would show well decanted but as is it’s not interesting enough. Pretty one dimensional. — a month ago
2002. Holy cow. Pure and elegant and light and refreshing. Amazing for a wine of this age. It’s current release. Showing remarkably. An honor to have this. — a month ago
1999. One of serge last wines. Things showing as well as any wine I’ve had. Super expressive on nose. Super long finish. Great balance. Rich plummy flavors. Fantastic. — 7 days ago
Crisp and fresh but simple. — a month ago
Faded a bit. But it’s 2001. Fresh and lovely tough. Super developed flavors ofc. No primary fruit but super interesting. — a month ago
2005. Perhaps a bit past its prime. But still excellent. Morphed to a chalky sense on the palate. Still loved it. — 15 days ago
Smoking. This is amazing. The earth of a languedoc cab. It has dolcetto, sure only 2% but who does that? It’s so good. Long finish. Complex. 2021. — 19 days ago
Not your dad’s Cabernet. Lighter colored cab. Pretty nose with present pyrazines v. can franc. But not harsh at all. What a revelation. Super drinkable. I need more. 2022 — a month ago

Wine Director, Red Lion Inn
Really good. A bit tight. Prob needs decanting. I’m too lazy. Dark fruit with that meatiness one hopes for. 2022. — 3 days ago
