At Guigal Tasting Room - gorgeous wine that is surprisingly approachable for being so young. The cork was popped three hours before our visit and the balance, fruit, spice all come together beautifully. Long finish. Is this a baby? Yes. Can you drink it now and be very happy… yes!

Espresso, chocolate, flowers, herbs, and red fruits are the heart and soul of the perfume. Medium-bodied, forward, chewy, and with a bit of a dry streak down the middle of your palate, the wine is on the refreshing bright side of the style range. The wine blends 89% Syrah with 11% Viognier from just 1 hectare of vines. Drink from 2027-2041.

Quite dark in color for the vintage, the oak is almost evolved into the wine, so with just swirl or two you find vanilla beans, licorice, smoke, cocoa, and red fruits. On the palate, the wine sits between medium-bodied and full-bodied, with a focus on dark red fruits and spice. For La Landonne, this will drink relatively early. Drink from 2030-2050.

Popped and poured from magnum. Cherry, damson, loamy earth and delicate, peppery garrigue notes frame this juicy, nicely ripe CDR that delivers vintage after vintage. It finishes with poise, clarity and balance. An impressive showing in a really difficult year, it'll drink well for at least another 5+ years. One of the world's greatest wine values.

For the price this is a super impressive wine. It definitely benefits from being on the cool side.

Pretty classic Guigal — peppery, dark, and a bit rough around the edges. Plenty of black cherry and blackberry fruit, with sweet baking spice and a touch of bittersweet chocolate. It’s medium-bodied, with medium tannins and medium(+) acidity, leaning a little jammy and warm on the palate. The alcohol sticks out a bit, but overall it’s fruity, bold, and perfectly fine for a weekday Rhône.

Medium ruby. Dark fruits on the nose. Cassis. Slightly harsh. Medium+ body, medium tannins, high acidity. Slightly sweet front, with a good amount of spice (pepper?) and some grip. Nice acidity to balance it all out. Soft finish with a fair amount of oak, leather, and dark chocolate. Not exceedingly complex but great value and solid casual drinker.

Decent everyday wine. Simple, fruit forward with a shorter finish. Color is medium ruby / purple. Nose of stewed dark fruits and forest floor scents. Palate is full bodied, juicy and fruity - dark cherries. Soft tannins with medium- acidity

More together than a previous bottle drunk only 5 months ago. 30 minutes in the fridge did it a world of good, tightening up and defining everything. Ripe, slightly cooked dark fruit on the nose, but never jammy. Herbal notes evident. Lovely rich and relatively soft in the mouth but with a good freshening current of acid. Impressive to hit 14.5% even in a "bad" vintage such as 2021

Nice little cotes du rhone in the beginning of its drinking window. Nice fruity juiciness with decent structure, little bit of tannic grip. Would be exceptional in a few years.

PNP. Very deep ruby magenta color. Raspberry, cassis, milk chocolate, concrete, and lime rind. Smooth, dry palate, with nice, zesty acidity. Firm, lower intensity tannins on the medium finish. This is always reliable, even in a not so great vintage. Needs little to no aeration. Excellent QPR.

Tasted at Vine Expo MBS Singapore. Too many wines to taste hence only rating and no tasting notes.

Some sweet crunchy grenache fruit, syrah providing the backbone and some dark fruit. Alcohol a little intrusive, surprising given the cool vintage. Gets better with air, bears decanting well

Dinner with Steve & Lucie (At their apartment) : Slo-oxed for 15 minutes. Attractive nose of dark fruits and garrigue. The medium bodied palate highlighted these dark fruits and garrigue along with lots of spice, good acidity, and mostly resolved tannins. A reasonable QPR if found for under $20. Will hold for several years.

Decanted for one hour. Dark ruby. Woodsy fruit on the nose. A mess on the palate, disjointed. Light for a CDR. Needs time to settle down. This may become a decent value CDR, but seems a step down in quality. Better with air - and food.

Wine countries of the world with Munskänkarna. This red from the rhone valley really had some meaty stone earthy nose to it together with an elegant peppery body, somewhat thin, with hints of cherry and carnation.

This is a very reliable generic Côtes du Rhône cuvée, albeit one of the more expensive. The local stores stocking this wine have vaunted a score of 91 points emanating, I think, from Wine Advocate. For once I find that this is more or less justified. The medium++ bodied wine is more polished and elegant than most generic CDR, due probably to to presence of a lot of northern Syrah in the blend, though the overall complexion containing some cherry …

Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre 14.5% abv Magnum bottle. Full body, deep garnet to purple colour. Intense black fruits aroma complemented by earthy background - tobacco, pepper and spices. Dominant black cherry, soft acidity and grippy tannins on palate and dark chocolate on finish. Rich and saturated, complex enough but unbalanced and alcoholic. Meanwhile, food friendly, well pairing to noodles with champignons. Serve 16ºC - 18ºC. Open one hour ahead. Drink now and next 4 years.
