2012 vintage. Old vine Syrah ( 60+ years) on granite soils on very steep slopes. Much more intense and mineral compared to the 2012 Thalabert tasted alongside ( as reflected in the higher price tag). Profound, intense and long, this could be mistaken for Hermitage. A terrific wine from a vintage that remained under the radar Abv. 13,5%. — 3 years ago

This producer has been batting 1000 recently. Nose is beautiful butterscotch and birthday cake. Plus paw paw and orange creamsicle, palate has fabulous acid and some nice minerals, also very long. Quite honeyed but with a wonderful phenolic bite, lingers unbelievably long. Great right out of the gate. — 4 years ago

2013 vintage. The second wine of La Chapelle, that is now named " Maison Bleue", but an excellent wine in its own right. At 9 years old this is absolutely gorgeous with an expressive nose of blackberries, wild flowers, pepper and leather, enhanced by a subtle smokiness. In the mouth it combines power with elegance, with pure fruit, subtle spices, silky tannins and great length. Terrific value if the mythical La Chappelle doesn't fit your budget.

2020 vintage. Another winner from Jaboulet and a great example of this under-the-radar northern Rhône appellation. Peaches, flowers and subtle spices. Crisp fruit and good almondy length and a hint of fresh mint. — 3 years ago

Reticent nose, fine tannins, still very primary, very enjoyable but better to wait another 10 years for this. — 5 years ago

Condrieu. 2018 vintage. Viognier partly fermented and aged in egg-shaped cement vats.Flowers and exotic fruit (ripe pineapple, passion fruit). Rich ripe fruit with very good acidity and the typical Condrieu bitter structure. Long finish with retronasal exotic fruit, almonds and an intriguing minerality. A great effort and another winner from Jaboulet. — 3 years ago

2021 vintage. "Mule Blanche" is Jaboulet's white flagship Crozes-Hermitage, a blend of Marsanne and Roussanne from 40 years old estate vineyards. Expressive nose bursting with white fruit, flowers and fresh herbs. Bright and crisp fruit with mouthwatering acidity and a distinctive minerality. Very long minty finish. Hard to resist now, but should age well. Abv. 13% . — 3 years ago

Have not opened a bottle of Parallel 45 in some time. This 2018 cotes de Rhone opened July 2021 and allowed to breath. The aroma is intense black cherry with dark chocolate. The taste replicates this and has mild to moderate tannins. It remains a great choice for meats like lamb or ribs. I will keep it in stock. — 4 years ago

Medium to dark purple. Crushed blackberry, pepper and peppermint in the nose. Juicy strawberries in the mouth. Nice touch of acidity and soft tannins in the finish. Very easy to drink. Should have bought more. — 7 years ago
