Dry. Full bodied. Blackberry. — a year ago
Drinking with Mom, Dad, and Emily in France at Alain Jaume! Apparently this is 100% Syrah. Color is purple red for sure. Nose is smokey with maybe some caramelized sugar? The taste is very spicy, leather and smooth. It is very good. — 2 years ago
Decant at least an hour before serving, and then you’re in for a treat. Powerful southern Rhone shiraz, superb. — 3 years ago

Drinking with Mom, Dad, and Emily in France at Alain Jaume! Color is dark red garnet and ruby. Nose is very stewed red fruit. Taste is definitely juicy and alcoholic dryness with spice and leather in the background. Also very very good — 2 years ago
Easy on the wallet, and the taste buds.
A solid Rhone here, with a nose of lilacs and violets.
Lighter body than you may be used to, cassis, boysenberry pie. A touch if heat and a lot of tannin will round this one out.
In my opine for a lot of whine, needs 5 years before drinking for full enjoyment.
Hope everyone is enjoying the day!

Excellent big gigondas - went well with balsamic chicken — 6 months ago
Nearly opaque crimson color.
Rich bouquet with tannins present.
Immediately spiced on the palate with an earthy, cocoa, herbaceous, candied, fertilized quality.
Lots of gentle chocolate rounded out by dark, fresh fruit. — 6 months ago
2016 vintage. Soft and indistinctive nose and flavors upon opening and stayed that way for the better part of two hours. Then started to gain substantial weight/heft, and spice complexities on the finish. Opened this waay too early but it lost a coin flip to the 2019 Alain Voge VV Cornas. Picked up a dirty, copper penny note + iodine along the way. 2.26.23. — 2 years ago
