DELAS FRÈRES HERMITAGE DOMAINE DES TOURETTES 2010 (3)
Rhône.
1 x scraped label. 1 x marked label.
The 2010 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes is an incredible wine that's only eclipsed by the 2009 Domaine des Tourettes. The 2010 is inky colored, concentrated and full-bodied, yet also elegant and seamless, with terrific complexity in its blackcurrant, saddle leather, cured meats, toasted bread and graphite aromas and flavors. Given its overall purity and freshness, as well as sweet tannin, it's actually a beautiful drink even today, yet it should be at its finest from 2020-2040. September 2015 WA 96+
DOMAINE DE LA JANASSE CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE VIEILLES VIGNES 2005 (3)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
One of the true superstars in the vintage, the 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes is deeper and richer than the cuvee Chaupin, yet stays just as balanced, fresh and drinkable. Loaded with notes of ripe black fruits, smoked herbs, smoked meats and licorice, it has full-bodied richness and power, a deep, decadent texture and beautifully integrated acidity which keeps it pure, lively and fresh. It’s another incredible wine from this estate that will continue to thrill for a decade. February 2015 WA 98
