This is a silkier, more elegant vintage of the Chapelle, at least relative to the 2010, which was really in my zone, as well as the 2009, which I found over-the-top, but in both cases I think there was more stuffing there than here. This would've shown better if I'd opened it with white meat or even fish or something else where a lightweight presence and loose-knit structure is called for. It's an excellent wine in that idiom but lacks some of the solidity and grip it has offered in other years. It's not imbalanced at all, and the trademark stony mineral flavors are still here, it's just a slimmer version of its usual self. — 10 years ago

Delicious 2014. Needed 1 hour to sing to us — 5 years ago
A nice Beaujolais from a vintage that I don’t usually love compared to 2014/2016. Definitely better with an hour or so in a decanter to let the tannins integrate a bit more. Dark purple in the glass - darker than expected. Nice cherry aromas. Still could resolve a bit more on the finish but with a slight chill is nice. — 6 years ago
Very pleasant and round gamay. — 7 years ago

Bandol rose stands alone! Cranberries, red currant, nectarine, sponge cake, slight white pepper. — 10 years ago
A delicious wine that should show even more in the next few years. With notes of kirsch and black currant, this soft, but complex wine is delicious. It has slight herbaceous undertones that round out the fruit forwardness. Probably one of the better Chat. Du Papes from this vintage. — 10 years ago
Acidity smoothed out with breathing. Strong plum. Made in steel instead of oak. — 5 years ago
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. — 6 years ago
Smokey leather and raspberry, velvety smooth on the palate. A hint of oak in the nose. — 6 years ago
A generous wine, big and yet structured with lots of great aromatics. — 7 years ago
18-. 1999. Still youthful, lovely Pinot nose, great mouthfeel and depth, balanced, long. But the previous bottle of the same wine, last night , was corked. And so it goes... — 8 years ago
Bastide Miraflors came to us like luxury after the other wine wasn't "ideal" — 9 years ago
