A fine elegant wine, not the fleshly Meursault, but good minerality.

Really good Chateauneuf-du-Pape, word is that 2016 is a legendary vintage and trying this I would say I’ve never experienced such a young wine of this varietal with so much depth and complexity. Great nose, really smooth on the palate and loads of cherry, spice, leather and floral elements with a hint of Pernod style aniseed on the finish. For $45 I think this is outstanding, it has a high alcohol content for French wine so may not be a long termer but it’s great so just enjoy now. — 6 years ago

Very nice Marlborough and not too sharp. Drunk at Bob Bob Ricard for 50 quid a bottle - sells for just over a tenner elsewhere! — 7 years ago

Best one of these I have opened. Clean and fresh for low SO2 wine. Nose is underbrush and Pernod-like. Bright cherry and anise flavors. Mint and rosemary. High acid profile was totally unexpected. Some VA and a wild edge to this. It changes in the glass quite a lot. The alcohol is very noticeable. — 9 years ago

2013 Sine Qua Non "Jusqu' à l'os" Sta. Rita Hills Grenache.
Back yet again to Manfred’s obsession with French names, this one is most apropos as I just finished watching the French Grand Prix at circuit Paul Ricard (remember the name Charles Leclerc F1 fans). And the wine’s name is spot on because this brooding bruiser of a Grenache is definitely “Bad To The Bone” alright. 79% Grenache from the 11 Confessions Vineyard along with 18% Syrah and 3% Petite Sirah, produced using 89% whole cluster and aged for around 38 months in 51% used oak, 6% new French oak and 43% concrete tanks. In the stem, deep Porsche Aubergine (one of my favorite vintage Porsche colors). Yet another in a long line of SQN “sit, swirl and contemplate” wines, this one has a highly perfumed nose of fresh raspberries, anise, spice box and freshly ground pepper. Full-throttled palate of plums, berries and that pepper, with earthy notes and toasted spices lurking in the background. Ultra-smooth tannins. Long, lingering kiss of a finish. Beautifully structured, this one takes the term “greatly concentrated” to a whole new level. Mr. Krankl definitely has a way with the finicky Grenache varietal. And yet again, his prowess as a master blender extraordinaire is on full display. Conventional wisdom says cellar, but it’s pretty darn good right now. Take a chance. Live a little! — 7 years ago

Produced by Ysios Winery which belongs to Pernod Ricard Bodegas located in Laguradia. Ruby with dark edges from 100% Tempranillo grapes, 30 year-old vines, and aged in French and Hungarian oak. Aromas of black fruit and spice. On the palate blackberry and cherry flavors surrounded by integrated fine tannins. Almost creamy on the finish ending with some cacao and oak notes. — 9 years ago

(Sung to the tune of ‘Oh What a Night’) Oh what a nose. Late July, 2018. Floral nose and mango, touch of almond, maybe. And that pallet. Almond, nugget, tart unripe mango, fennel pollen, gardenia, guava. Yes, I’ll take more. — 7 years ago

Very much alive, showing a nice core of dried red fruits framed by leather, cigar, sweet brown spice, Pernod, vanilla, hoisin and chestnut. The acid considerably fresh, tannins are integrated and soft, the sweet oak is present but mingles well with the aged-Sangiovese character. — 7 years ago

Perfect with #iberico pork. #priorat #garnachalover #garnachapower #garnacha @Ricard Rofes well done. Massive bottle. I love the bottle at the same time as I feel it's not very ecological. Some nice floral notes on the nose and a lovely grainy texture with ripe tannins on the palate. Definitely a wine that can age for decades. — 8 years ago
