2010 vintage at L'Auberge Chez Francois for Bernie & Louise's 51 wedding anniversary. Smooth easy Bordeaux - as the sommelier said, I never met a Bordeaux I didn't like. — 9 years ago
Really good stuff. Maybe less loud and bright than the Souhaut St Epine with more structure/substance. Really soft tannin profile. Seems a bit more serious of a Syrah. It was hard to choose which I preferred. — 10 years ago

Smooth and deep Syrah. — 11 years ago
Big red body. Which leads you to big spices of lavender, Rosemary, sage. 70% blend of Grenache 13% Syrah 12% Mourvèdre and 5%cinsault. Dense purple plums and darn cherries.
There are 3 premier Appalachians in rhone. Gigondas, vacqueyras, chateanueuf du pope (the last being the supreme). The story goes that the two keys on the crest of the chateauneuf wine were sealed and punishable by death if you were to drink it if you were not the pope. — 11 years ago

@Xavier Davila : hyper bon en fait ! On ne l'a pas bu au bon moment. C'est une vendange tardive. Au top sur le roquefort. — 9 years ago
