Clean and bold. Not too tannic, and great body. Love the subtle cherry undertones and balanced blackberries notes. Overall a wonderful wine and great value! Yum! — 9 years ago

2001 vintage. Very correct Combettes and has aged nicely. I love Sauzet's Champ Canet and Combettes. Always nice to dodge the premox — 12 years ago

A great wine at a really affordable price. I was a little concerned about the 2011 vintage, but it didn't have that edge that is usually found with this vintage. — 11 years ago

Delicious Chateauneuf du Pape; still fruity and aromatic despite the bottle age. Characteristically complex, well blended, and pleasurable in every way. Drank very nicely with Thanksgiving dinner. — 10 years ago

Happy New Year!

Maybe the Michel Arnould old vines powerhouse is too serious for a lighthearted celebration, but it was just right for father and son wine geeks having New Years dinner alone together for the first time since 1999.

My top 10 wines of 2015:
85 Barros colheita port
92 Bruno Michel Champagne
94 Charbonniere Chateauneuf old vines
90 Cos d'Estournel
00 Domaine de Chevalier
96 Drouhin Corton Charlemagne
04 Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg auslese long gold cap
73 La Rioja Alta Arana
00 Lafon Volnay Santanots
82 Mount Eden Pinot Noir

And 5 honorable mentions just too damn delicious to leave out:
93 Beaulieu Napa Cab
88 Chasse-Spleen
10 Fontodi Chianti Classico
n/v Lustau Peurto de Santa Maria En Rama Sherry
12 Ridge Zinfandel Jimsomare
