Les Cailloux (Lucien et André Brunel)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

A rich golden color and medium body, the wine is young, but already showing maturity and refinement. A strong nose of yellow/golden fruit compote or pie filling, peach cobbler I think, with a hint of cinnamon, white grape juice (from concentrate), and maybe some hint of leeks towards the edges. The palate is silky smooth, creamy, with energy though pulsing between the notes of whipped cream, rich yellow fruit spread, but also some mineral dryness to the edges, and a finish of dried apricot and peach. I’d let this age a few years, let that sweetness smooth out, and then relish in its refinement. — a day ago

Quinet Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2021

9.1

Gorgeous wine and so classic in 21. Nose is granitic and dusty with some lovely red currant and licorice. Gamey, meaty and so deep. Really terrific aromas. Smells like Cote Rotie and it is within spitting distance. Palate is very 21. Mostly red fruits with some minor black ones and a classic, grippy almost Cru Bourgeois type structure. Juicy and serious for such a humble price. Pre tariff we were $19.99 a case. Very 21 and very lean. Big tannins and actually needs maybe 3-5 years of age. After 5 hours this is soft and lush and has gone from 9.0 to 9.1. Really came together. — 2 months ago
