Les Corendies Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2014

Both fun and thoughtful. With a little air, nose shows very pure and fresh blackberry/cassis, just-cracked peppercorns, cracked stones, and pink grapefruit rind. Soft texture, loads of flavor in an uber-fresh package. So lively and fun. Syrah's answer to Chateau Thivin. — 8 years ago

Off night wine. Not as interesting as Chateau Thivin. The wine kind of disappears and doesn't linger on your palette. — 8 years ago

Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive)

Les Clos Cuvée Vielles Vignes Fleurie Gamay 2014

After the hype from Somm2 and good feedback from wine biz buds, my verdict is this is a very, very good Beaujolais Cru. I definitely recommend you try it if you are into Burgundy or esp Cru Bojo. My wife guessed Burgundy blind when I poured it for her. Like ripe red raspberry and bing Cherry, with a dash of roasted herbs smeared on a granite rock...yeah, literally that. The aroma is a perfume of red fruits caught in a tug of war with a granite rock-like minerality and roasted herbs and forest floor. The palate is dead sexy, juicy and sappy fruit and acidity, with a perfect balance and elegance that feels weightless. Thanks for the enlightenment @Jason Wise and @Brian McClintic! Now I can add #dutraive to my faves from #beaujolais like #lapierre #thivin #foillard #sunier #thevenet — 9 years ago

Despres also had a quick appearance in the film and is very good as well.

Light wake season cherry fruit. Great acidity. Licorice. Will age for a decade. But I'd rather drink single vineyard thivin. Bought from Fass selections. — 8 years ago
