Cuvée La Chapelle Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2015
One of the better 15’s I have had and I really dislike the vintage. The nose is very 15 with sunshine ripened dark cherry fruit that teeters the line but it’s not quite over the line. It’s still all fruit on the nose and not much jf any soil tones. Palate is rich and delicious with decent freshness, good cut and energy and very ripe. Insanely juicy and decadent and still a baby. Needs 10+ years for this to show more Cote de Brouily versus Gamay, which is what it is showing now. — 12 days ago

Jaspis Würmlin Grauer Burgunder 2016
Wasn’t called Wurmlin in 16 but it’s the same wine. At 8 years of age this is really coming into its own. Exuberant nose is stone fruits, grapefruit and gorgeous herbs. Some died tree bark and also citrus rind. Palate is stunning. Wow. 9.8 palate for now. Just so concentrated and energetic, with outrageous purity and depth. Amazing structure and length. Unreal palate. This is magic. Crazy citrus and stone fruits and endless finish. Genius! — 7 days ago

Quarantadue 42 Barbaresco 2014
Been a bit over 4 years since I have had the. Nose is classic with tar, tobacco, ripe mid season cherries, really provocative spice notes, and some chestnut. Palate is ripe and minty with ripe but substantial tannins and not that much finesse which I hope will develop with air. Juicy and so clean but lacking some excitement. — 12 days ago
Wittmann
Kirchspiel Großes Gewächs Riesling 2021
Huge nose of citrus, pineapple, guava and more. Smells like a Riesling Pina Colada. Pink grapefruit and very piquant and precise aromas. Palate is so 21. Huge angles and acid and lean but ripe fruit. Unreal fruit clarity and freshness. Great acidity and a long minerals and citrus finish. — 3 days ago
Domaine Bernard Gripa
Parady Saint-Joseph Syrah 2020
Been over a year and this wine is singing. Nose is so expressive with granite, camphor, herbs, meat, olives, blackberries and smoke. So complex and expressive. Palate is energetic and rich but so supple and juicy with tons of blackberry and darker red fruits. Superbly long finish that just builds and builds. Unreal freshness and suave texture. Just stunning and only just opened. The nose is super leathery after air. — 4 days ago
Martin Müllen
Revival Trocken Mosel Riesling 2013
Gorgeous and mature QBA with outrageous length, acids and texture. Just an awesome wine and really showing well. 9.5 for an 11 year old QBA? This really is stunning. The length is inconceivable for a wine of this pedigree. And that haunting texture. Wow! — 11 days ago

More notes later as I just poured it out and wow! In an amazing place. So supple and rich but fresh. Really gamey and meaty with fantastic freshness and vivid cherry fruit. Really amazing overnight. So sappy, succulent, pure and balanced. Just gorgeous wine. — a day ago
