At once weighty and energetic in character. Finishes juicy, lively and strikingly long, with repeating spice and floral notes and steadily building tannins.
The 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape looks to be a huge success. It's full-bodied, deep, and thrillingly concentrated on the palate but it's upfront and incredibly expressive today
With only about 100 cases produced each year, finding a bottle of the 2015 Cote Rotie la Landonne will prove much harder than drinking it. It's indeed a terrific wine !
2015 Domaine des Pasquiers - Cotes du Rhone Villages Sablet Prestige Cuvee Prebayon 750ml | SKU 77877
I "discovered" Pasquiers on a buying trip to France a few years ago and they've become the most popular reds in the shop! This is their special cuvee of Sablet and we haven't been able to get any in the last few years, so stock up!
Marked by hints of peppery spice, dusty cherries and supple tannins, the 2018 Gigondas is already approachable. It's medium to full-bodied, with a silky feel and decent depth, making for a fine, early-drinking example of the appellation.
