98 Domaine du Caillou

[Oenotheque]

For comparison, one that I didnt feel held true to its CdP heritage was the Alain Jaume Grand Veneur Les Origines. Absolutely delicious, hugely extracted, but could have been a bottle of Two Hands Bella's Garden for all i knew. Heavy on the syrah and fruit ignoring other qualities all together. If Bobbo has his way this would be the future of Rhone, but i personally like it the way it is.

Disclaimer: The Les Origines is amazing, it just doesnt make the same nice that a traditional CdP would make with some med-rare grilled muscovy duck breast. Think pheasant or stuffed pork tenderloin instead.
