No formal notes but I got through 6 of these in a blink of an eye. This is an outstanding vintage and amazing QPR! This is all about silky, fruit forward enjoyability yet it works well with food thanks to a dash of pepper character which gives a hint of drying tannins. Re-buy if it’s this good regularly!

2022 Domaine du Coulet (Matthieu Barret) Côtes du Rhône No Wine's Land
4/27/2024 - Capt Cutlass Likes this wine: 91 Points
Not sure about the experience of the last taster who admitted he/she doesn’t have any experience with Syrah…. This is a terroir wine - vines that are planted on the edge of the Cornas appellation but given Côtes du Rhône status yet they have the terroir and depth/complexity of a young Cornas; a bit like a Langhe Nebbiolo being a baby Barolo. There is lovely fruit here yet with a minerality and tension which comes from a complex geological soil. Great QPR!!

2020 Domaine Labet Chardonnay Bajocien

Aromas of cooked apples. Rich and ripe and round with tropical grapefruit bitterness to provide balance. No natural wine CO2. Oily texture. This is top tier Chardonnay!! Delicious now and probably for a couple more years. Carries the 14% very well.
