Deep ruby hue with strong tearing. Tart red and black fruit, such as blackberry, fig, and plum, espresso, peat, pipe tobacco, dark baking spice, wet stone conjuring an image of the galets blanketing the earth at the base of the vines. Chewy tannins and tart black fruit on the palate. Noticeable heat. Grenache-based blend. Strong, bold red from Southern Rhône. ABV 14.5%. Vintage 2012. — 5 years ago

Dry but low tannins, sort of crisp with a spicy snap in the tongue. Not much aftertaste but good mouthfeel — 7 years ago

The signature has considerably more vegetal, lees character than the entry bottle, but cleans up the acid and controls the tannin. Some earth, but remains mostly woody and cutting, like its ungilded brethren.
Edit: Opened well. Much more fruit and surprisingly silkier body. Probably didn't give the previous bottle time to breathe. Or could be that it was waiting for stinky cheeses... — 7 years ago

As with all wine, the food accompanying the wine influences your opinion. We all found this wine rather good tonight (casserole with barley, lamb & pork belly). A little too much alcohol warmth perhaps but ............. — 8 years ago

Manure. Leather. That old world funk, all up in my nose. I love it. Pair it with the deep, dry black fruit in the mouth, and I'm transported back to a quiet evening in Carcassonne. — 8 years ago

Martinez

9.0

Blend of Grenache (80%) and Mourvedre (20%) from 6 parcels in the Palastor, Bois Dauphin and Cabrières lieux-dits, located around the road to Orange in the cooler, northern part of the Châteauneuf du Pape AOC. From 60-80 years old vines Gradassi inherited from his grandfather rooted on sandy and clay soils, with few galets roulés (round river stones). Whole-bunch fermentation in cement vats. Aged for 10 months in older barriques. Intense, complex and fabulously aromatic, with aromas of dark fruit, garrigue, licorice and an edge of graphite/gunpowder. Big and powerful (14.5%) yet balanced. Earthy, leathery qualities and some chewy tannins. — 5 years ago
