Lots of fun bottles were popped at Al’s hosting this past weekend for his birthday celebration. All were served blind. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 6 reds and 1 dessert wine. Fantastic showing. Unmistakably Rhône. It smells of charred potpourri, spicy rhubarb and tea leaves. On the palate, it was light and nimble with a decidedly black pepper like finish. I was very confident this was southern Rhône CdP as I didn’t get any smoked meat or iron type notes like I typically do with northern Rhône. Just a hint of sweetness in the black cherry core to bring out the acidity and smooth the tannins. I called this southern Rhône CdP from the mid 2000s.

17/20 (92/100) Аромат спелых чёрных лесных ягод, чернослива, кожи, специй и скотного двора. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и мягкими, обволакивающими танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе, но скотного двора хотелось бы поменьше.

Tasted blind. Incredibly youthful given age. Impeccable texture.

Rich without being heavy, almost new world in character. Still very young. Needs another 5+ years.

Well rounded and beautiful. Good medium acidity and strong tannins dissipate quickly to a long leather and chocolate finish.
