Some wines I just don't get... this is one of them. <br /><br />After my last tasting, which was corked, my wine adviser assured me this is a supurb wine and I should give it another go. <br /><br />On opening the bottle the smell was heady and sharp, so I decanted it for a few hours. After 2 hours it started coming to life and I enjoyed a couple of glasses, however I left half of it until later in the evening (5 hrs) and it turned really acidic.<br /><br />A real disappointment for me, the Cristia Grenache is a superb wine and I had high hopes for the Cairanne.

"Me and my brother, Baptiste, are the third generation of our family working at Domaine de Cristia. We started working here back in 1999, taking over from my father. The soils were in excellent condition thanks to Dad's biodynamic conception of agriculture. But trying to change old mentalities was a challenge! After our first few vintages, we really found our own style in 2003. That vintage produced some wonderful wine, and The Wine Advocate called us the 'New Superstars from Chateaueuf-du-Pape'. Winemaking is something I'm truly passionate about. And I love working with my brother Baptiste, who is an engine of energy, ideas, positivity and reassurance. But if I wasn't making wine, I'd be a professor of history, or an intrepid explorer a la Indiana Jones!"

Domaine Cristia from Naked Wines. All three demonstrated a similarity of style - a house style if you will - forward fruit, crowd-pleasing drinkability and a ripe, up-front fruitiness
Over the years a few "thank you's" have been penned by retailers on Spittoon but none, as I recall, from wine makers or wine estates. Any 'chat' between the final consumer and the wine maker is even more remote; but step forward Naked Wines.
