CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Renaissance Domaine de Cristia 2020
A more Mourvèdre-heavy blend, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Renaissance is 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre that has the Grenache brought up in tank and the Mourvèdre in new barrels. It's always a more modern styled wine in the lineup, yet it holds onto ample Southern Rhône style and has a meaty, complex, peppery style as well as medium to full body, ripe, building tannins, good purity of fruit, and outstanding length on the finish. It shows a kiss of new oak, yet there's unquestionably enough fruit to handle it. This is a beautiful vintage of this cuvée.
GREYTOWN OLD VINES SYRAH-CABERNET Joshua Cooper 2022
At first, some green notes rise – a touch of spearmint and eucalyptus with a lime-oil oak flavour but with a decent airing, they fade into the background while the gorgeous dark fruit comes to the fore. Plus, some pepper and Chinese five-spice with a touch of lavender; lots in this and it constantly changes in the glass. It builds and expands with more savoury inflections. Fuller bodied with textural, slightly gritty tannins and it does finish on a high.
