La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

2011. Blanc. No one drinks enough of this. That's because there are so few things to which its a good partner, but it would be an incredible cheese-and-charcuterie wine. Broad and oily, there's just enough acid to keep you coming back for more. Sun-baked yellow orchard fruits dominate, but there's more exotic fruits too (mango and dried pineapple) yellow flowers, tons of almond husk bitterness, green olives, bay leaf, oregano, tarragon, white cheddar. Oak is assertively present but not overwhelming. Place dominates over grapes here, as it's a mix of Clairette and Grenache Blanc and a hodge-podge of other things. — 12 years ago

Deep, dense and concentrated with ample red fruit (cherry, red currant) smoky bacon oak coming through, lovely meaty leather notes. Broad, quite Gevrey 1er Cru smelling. Delicious! Medium to full, textured, meaty, good red fruit, light to medium tannic grip and balanced acid, a wine of 8+ years. — 11 years ago

Demuth Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

Great, great bouquet of minerality, jumps at you with a remarkable mouth feel with texture and energy. Acidity and structure burgundian yet without the sun deficiency seen in some french wines (survival of fruit) — 12 years ago

Adventures in pulling corks: provenance check. A fantastic 61, still alive, sun sweet, smoky red fruits, modest maderization. One of the best non-1er Cru or Left Bank I have tried. Excellent storage is the reason. Level was top shoulder, excellent for age. — 13 years ago
