This CdP seems a bit more angry and wild from being opened, a touch more structure than the softer 2000 Bosquet des Papes (2001 was a more tannic vintage), solid balance, also mature, 13.5% ABV, longish finish. — 11 days ago

Had this 2019 gifted to me. Had it with a charcoal grilled tri-tip and it went perfectly. Rich, velvety with concentrated blackberry. Nicely structured, big but not heavy in any way. — a month ago

Blend of 70% Grenache, 17% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah & 3% Cinsault, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits, oak and floral spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with oak, herb spice and floral notes. Wine was complex and elegant with fine smooth tannins, long fruit and spicy finish. Very Nice! — 2 months ago

Drank without decanting. Light on the nose and a smooth sweet taste on the tongue. Fruit flavors and not intense at all. Great wine and well named! Day 2: sweet fruity smell with more of an alcohol scent. As I taste it, I still taste fruit but it is a bit more acidic. Still good overall but not the same as day 1. — a month ago

Pale lemon with pronounced stone fruit and citrus aromas with floral blossoms, slight petrol notes. On the palate flavors of apricot, peach, pear and lime citrus with vivid acidity, minerality and spice. Medium+ finish ending dry with fresh fruit, floral and mineral notes. — a month ago

Still working on a case. Showing as good as I’ve seen in a while. Quite delicious funkiness — a month ago

Cute label. Color is pretty. Smells of the river rocks and berry compote. Hint of smoke. Flavors are juicy and complex. Plenty of minerals. Balance is great. Floral and fresh. — 2 months ago

When faced with a difficult list, I will always go with Crochet if it’s there. Consistency and a fair price. — 2 months ago
