2007 Pegau Cuvee Reservee Chateneuf du Pape,
Very good! Not sure what was wrong with last March's disappointing bottle but this one was what I would hope based on 2015's. In fact, it's pretty identical to that, hasn't aged from there like one would expect considering it was aging fast to that point. Nice fruit with just enough funk for intrigue.
2011 H. Brunier & Fils Ventoux Megaphone Grenache Blend, Grenache
This is Vieux Telegraf's Languedoc property. Each bottle has been better than the last but for me, and I loved it enough to buy a case, this is peak splendor. Light-medium red with hints of orange at the rim. On the palate, very harmonious notes of gently spiced strawberry-cherry fruit with butterhorn squash and a hint of herb. Great with food, and great for sipping on it's own. I wish I had more of this type of wine in my cellar.
2007 Maison Arnoux & Fils Vacqueyras Vieux Clocher Red Rhone Blend
A recently discovered cellar orphan not in inventory. Swampy nose with burnt ketchup on the palate. DUMP.
