Domaine de Bellivière (Eric Nicolas)

Rouge-Gorge Coteaux Du Loir Pineau d'Aunis 2020

One of my favorite red wines. Never disappointed. White pepper, plum, tart blackberry, stone, cherry, hint of green wood. It is so good with and gets better with some air. — a month ago

E. Guigal

Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2003

A touch of butterscotch on the nose then a deep blue gnarly fruit with a bit of tang and black pepper. Savory and delicious on the palate z quite cool blooded which is ironic given the vintage. Sour cherry notes on the end. — a month ago

Chaillot Cornas Syrah 2013

Black and green pepper. Blood and cool iron. A lovely savory nose. On the palate cool and balanced. Great fruit without too much heat. A punch of salty and iodine. Delicious — 2 months ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Black cherries stand out against earthy beet and blackberry. Graphite rings and smoke curls around bay and sage, acanthus and peppercorn. Green in spots and muted on the palate, this one is unfortunately young and missing something. Pepper and cedar overpower the fruits and the tannins are aggressive here, giving a stemmy impression. May develop over time but gangly and awkward here.

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2015

Oh yes…gimme all them funky cherries and all dat black licorice. There were also Ferrara Red Hots®️and a generous hit of black pepper. I simply adore Pegau; for all of its unapologetic character and authenticity. This 2015 brought the business tonight and was smashing with cassoulet, Toulouse sausage and duck confit. — a month ago

Château de Saint-Cosme

Côtes du Rhône Syrah 2021

Another outstanding vintage of this CdR classic. 100% Syrah. Deep ruby color. Bright aromas of blackberry, blueberry, kirsch and bacon fat. Fruit forward palate notes ripe plum and black currant with distinctive notes of vanilla, black pepper and grilled herbs. Touch of graphite and saline on the medium-plus luxurious finish. Creamy texture and smooth tannins. Outstanding quality and consistency for the price. — a month ago
