Nice floral, fruity, and earthy aromas.
Dark red color, medium full body.
Very earthy, notes of clay, red fruit flavors. Tannins are there but integrated and soft. Long earthy finish. Great wine

Reddish in color with fresh red fruits on the nose.
Medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward.
Showing red fruits with earth, light wood, spices, coffee and dark chocolates.
This is a very tasty Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and interesting to enjoy as a sipping wine.
Very approachable young, soft and elegant. Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
100% Grenache grapes from 115 year old vines. Aged for 2 years in used French oak barrels. A small production of only 4,000 bottles.
16% alcohol by volume.

Cloudy, golden yellow color with pale yellow edges and a medium body. Legs are loooong and slow, and the nose is all naturále. Slightly funky but big on the citrus, especially the lemon, with a big nose of ripe rind, and hints of salt and tart yellow fruits (star fruit and maybe Budda’s hand?). It didn’t start out that way, it was all natural wine funk at the beginning, but after an hour it opened up a lot and rested into its own. Palate has some sharp acidity, ripe lemon and almost cooked citrus fruits, kinda creamy and caramelized, with notes of brandy, apple cider like hints, vegetal notes (like celery?), creamy cinnamon sugar (like a coffee cake) even a little forest floor! The flavor and acid lingers long after your sip, and leaves a slight zingy flavor on the palate. Whew! — 8 months ago

Date night with my wife in my childhood's home back home without any kid or pet in sight. We are working remotely this week from Toulouse, but this definitely feels like an extension of our summer holidays 😁.
The nose is very merlot-forward with notes of cherry, leather, earthy, clay touches, cedar, beef stew and almond powder. The palate is big, bright and broad, with a nice strawberry and earthy notes that carries on all along a strong acid drive, there is width, there is matter, it's rather muscular but you peep the 15% abv on the (barely readeable) back label you start to understand why! Tannins kick in the rear but they are not harsh, they caress and come across as a gentle hug around a very nice, meaty, juicy finish that goes on for a while. Cherry and earthy notes carry on and that savoury touch comes around to crown a very nicely made right bank effort. Kudos to the winemaker, this is punching way above its 10 euro retail price category and I have had many a saint emilion in my time that would be pale in comparison. — 5 months ago
