9.0

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nice nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Showing red fruits with light oak, licorice and chocolate notes.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty 5 year old GSM blend from Lirac. Nicely balanced and elegant, with mild complexity. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Aged in concrete tanks and 15% large French oak barrels.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

"Odedi"

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose with black fruits, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, dark chocolates, light earth, coffee, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Fruit forward and easy drinking. Nicely balanced and interesting. Rich, yet elegant.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already very approachable. The high alcohol is well integrated.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94 point wine.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, 3% Counoise and 2% Vaccarese. Aged in (20% new) large French oak barrels.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

This may be my first Condrieu. Golden in color. Never had a domestic Viognier taste this luscious.  — 2 months ago

Decanted separately two bottles for Christmas lunch
Took time to open and second showed benefit of longer time to open with notes of wood with earth, cassis, black cherry and a hint of earthy floor. Showed excellent performance and flavours that also possessed benefit of cellaring and results in tremendous length and finish.
Top notch and likely will develop further — 6 months ago
