A total charmer, plenty of plum & raspberry fruits as well as classic cigar wrapper, spice, & cedary incense-like nuances. Nicely textured, medium to full-bodied, & balanced, an outstanding wine to enjoy over the coming 4-6 years.

Syrah, "Granit 30" Domaine Vincent Paris, Cornas, FR, 2021
D 92Pts.
A surprisingly floral expression, with plentiful violets on the nose. Smooth, ripe, fresh & well balanced. The acidity is quite marked, in fact, making for quite a brisk, strict style on the palate. Tannins are firm & quite rigid.

Displays a hint of mint on the nose but just a hint leaving plenty of space for the dark cassis & chocolate notes that characterize this big bold wine. It's full-bodied plush & velvety with a slightly brighter finish & mouthwatering length.

Franciacorta Rose "Cuvee Prestige" Ca'del Bosco, IT, NV
The Rose color is obtained after brief maceration of red Pinot Nero grapes. Just a few hours are needed to get that special tint recalling springtime sunsets,you must seize the moment, an instant earlier it's too pale, an instant later it's too dark.

"Les Fiefs de Lagrange", Chateau Lagrange, Saint Julien, FR, 2019 (Mathieu Bordes)
92pts JS
Really clear aromas of blackcurrants and blackberries with dried flowers and sandalwood. It’s full-to medium-bodied, yet with very tight, refined tannins that run the length of the finish. Second wine of Lagrange. Very well done. Best after 2024

Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and blueberry, and hints of earth and dried flowers. Oak and toast mesh completely into the flavors. The wine’s color is dense, and flavors of ripe berry and cherry ride a wave of firm but resolved tannins.
