Big full bodied not quit ready — 9 years ago
Dark ruby/ purple in color with a reddish rim.
Strong fruity nose with red and black fruits, light wood, spices, light barnyard, coffee, dark chocolates and earth.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, currants, light wood, Mediterranean spices, herbs, earth and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Grenache /Syrah blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and very approachable already.
A great vintage that will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Complex and nicely balanced. The nose gives Northern Rhone vibes. Easy drinking and an interesting wine. Still very young, but already enjoyable, even by itself.
A blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah. The Grenache comes from 100 year old vines. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. A small production of less than 3,300 bottles. Made only in special vintages.
15% alcohol by volume.

A nice, easy, for every day Chateau-Neuf. — 8 years ago
Is it Pure? Great stuff. 2012 is a more elegant year for Chateauneuf du Pape and while still big, this isn't the sledgehammer it could've been, and that's a good thing — 10 years ago

Domaine la Barroche Châteauneuf-du-Pape Julien Barrot 2022, Rhone, France
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fresh cherries on the nose with light chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red cherries, red currants, earth, light chocolate notes, tobacco leaf, herbs and spices.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Grenache blend from the great 2022 vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape is already drinking very nicely. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but very approachable now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 63% Grenache, 13% Mourvedre, 11% Syrah, 7% Counoise, 5% Cinsault and 1% local varieties. Aged in large French oak barrels and concrete vats for 22 months.
