Les Clos Lyzières Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2017

Phenomenal. A deep, concentrated cab franc with excellent structure. Drinks really well now with air, has at least 7+ years of evolution to go. Dark berries, mulberries and blackberries, lavender, cocoa, classic Loire bell pepper, leather, wet rock. Superb. — 5 years ago

Le Ban Saint-Aubin Pinot Noir 2017

Slight horse on the nose to begin with, with a shift towards bright fruit, and anise. Great length with well integrated tanins, low acidity and very mellow finish. Good stuff. — 8 years ago

Note that the bottle says '2102'-- b/c Dominique Andiran is sidestepping AOC regs. Both grapes used in nearby Armagnac. #biodynamic

La Bastide Saint-Dominique

Les Hespérides Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2013

Nose has smokey dry earth, dry lavender, old licorice, dried black cherry, ripe black currant, dried blackberry and (light) dried oak.

Palate has silky dried blackberry, ripe plum, black currant jam, (light) dark chocolate, dried blueberry and light tannins. Mouth coating texture. Future bottles should be 2023+

50% Grenache & 50% Mourvédre

Paired with a bottom round beef roast, slow cooked 8+ hours with autumn root vegetables and the au jus from the roast, thickened with a little of my own tomato paste, delicious.

Haven’t had a CdP in a minute, this makes me thirsty for one! On an unrelated notes love the new profile pic 😻

Thanks. Not big CdP drinkers here, as most need time to settle. Household storage bottles are recent, so they're sleeping. Have enough older versions, but they are off-site, so hard to PnP, planning required.
Not a 'new' pic, been rocking it for several weeks. Until Julia and Team push out the Android update to address the first round of bugs on their new version, I can't update it. I'm going to work thru all of the fur-kids once I have the ability to change it again.

Les Pieds Sur Terre Saint-Savin Chardonnay 2014

So much going on in this awesome Chardonnay from Jura. For a second, green bell pepper and celery seed but then popcorn kernel and smokey tar. Chablis level acidity with a rich mouth coating carrying flavors of lemon, yellow apple, celery salt, and chamomile. — 7 years ago

Signargues Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhône Blend

Cran-plum nose, with very well integrated boysenberry, hints of Pom, pepper, lime, tannin.
Wow! This wine is indeed perfect for a Monday night game of darts. Bullseye on the price point and producer for quality.

Lieu-Dit Pignan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2011

A powerhouse! This is classic with its black fruit, herbs de Provence, and anise seed flavors. Barnyard funk emerges with air along with a streak of minerality. Let this sleep for another 3-5 years for better integration. — 9 years ago

Gigondas Grenache Blend 2011

Fantastic Rhone Valley wine. Notes of dark jammy plum, cedar and clove spice on the nose, with strawberry-rubarb, raspberry sorbet, pomegranate, and light minerally feel, medium plus body, high acidity, and a nice and smooth finish. Great with food, and with an hour decant, by itself. — 9 years ago
