La Combe Blanche

Clos Saint Jean

La Combe des Fous Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Pretty red color with medium intensity.

Fresh red berries on the nose with light milk chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, light earth, light wood, spices, coffee, herbs and dark chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This delicious 3 year old Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is starting to drink beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Still young, and from the great 2022 vintage. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Rich and fruit forward. Complex with a soft mouthfeel. Soft, pure and elegant.

The high alcohol is very well integrated. Spicy and entertaining. Well structured and precise.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Grapes are grown on aged vines of more than 100 years old. A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah. Aged in mostly concrete vats for 2 years. Syrah is aged in new French oak barrels.

16% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

La Bastide Blanche

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2022

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fresh nose of red and black fruits with light spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Showing raspberries, black currants, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice and black pepper.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This Mourvèdre from Bandol is still very young, yet tasty and already enjoyable, even by itself.

Tannic, and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 81% Mourvedre, 9% Grenache, 8% Cinsault and 2% Carignan. Aged in large oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

@Ericsson Oh what I’d give to rifle through 4-6 decent wines with 4-6 decent palates in the space of 3-4 hours…been too long. Happy you made it in. Hope you enjoyed. Had to bounce unfortunately before potentially compromising your palate with some skanky/tawdry reds. Next time. Best wishes always.
