2023. 15% super full gas. Brambles a good descriptor. Tight acidity with a solid body of sweet dark fruit from the Mourvèdre. Bit cloying and not elegant but super pure fruit. And great. — 2 months ago

Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.

This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.

Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.

Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel — 9 months ago

Just delicious! I’ve had great luck w/Savoie wines and this was no different: pours extremely dark, inky, opaque, brooding taking its time to unfurl black & red fruit w/depth, earthy w/a hi tone note along with licorice and forest floor. Big mouth filling broad across palate, gobs of fruit but all fit into sturdy tannic frame. Well cut - a Country Squire — 4 years ago

Improving nicely but slowly. Way better than on release. But patience will be rewarded. Needs another few years. — 7 years ago

This is more youthful than the 2004, yet it also shows more merde than that other Chateauneuf, medium-long finish, I marginally prefer the 2004. — 2 months ago

When in Chateauneuf du Pape… great white. Lighter in style but very good. Visited the winery and their reds are extremely good — a year ago

Puligny- Montrachet “Les Charmes” Raymond DuPont-Fahn. This wine is so fresh and smooth. It is a Burgundybut it tastes like a fresh Chardonnay to me. Purchased in France when we were there. So yummy. — 7 years ago
