Coffee, olive, vanilla, pepper. Bitter finish but still incredibly complex. — 10 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2009

A little hot on the nose and palate but still freaking delicious. Nose carries through with red fruit compote, licorice whips, leather, balsam, lavender, roasted herbs, moss, funk, and meat. Palate plays more on compote, licorice, and balsam with kicks of spice and leather. There's that savoriness coming through on the palate as well. Despite some alc. poking out this is really beginning to show well. Expecting more organic earth, black tea, and umami notes in the future but still a brilliant perfume right now. Tannin still has a little edge that keeps the wine balanced. Humbled to try wines like this when I can. 375 ml — 10 years ago

The spicy funk that I dig so much. Hugh Masekela's Unhlanhia pairs perfect. — 11 years ago

Flying Pig Cabernet Franc Blend 2009

Pretty amazing! Classic Cayuse funk on the opening nose with opens with the signature Rocks minerality and savory flavors and evolves over time to great fruit, herbal Cab Franc notes and plush Merlot texture on the palate. Yum. Let's see what happens tomorrow! — 12 years ago

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2007

Absolutely amazing. Lots of good brett. Balanced and delicious. Great dark fruit aromas and flavors. So smooth. Medium high tannins and acidity. Perfect silky texture. A little funk on the nose and palate (positive). Aroma and flavors are out of this world. Leather bag full of cherries and raspberries. Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carmenere. Complex. Delicious 13.5% abv — 10 years ago
