2008 vintage. From the Knights Valley AVA (Sonoma). A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Very impressive. Ripe blackberry fruit, spices, and truffles jump out of the glass. Powerful and elegant at the same time with layers of black fruit, great balancing acidity, haute couture tannins, and a very, very long finish. Irresistible now, but this should age well for decades. Abv. 14,5%. — 3 days ago

2022 vintage. First wine ever made, from a tiny vineyard with 78 vines, planted according to the tarot theory. The result from 2 years old vines is an amazing gift from nature. 100% Merlot, no wood ageing. Jean-Luc Portelli does not sell the wine but was so kind as to let me taste it ( total production about 25 liter!). — 5 days ago

2014 vintage. An older Beaujolais cru from a great estate is always a good idea. This 9 years old Moulin-à-Vent is a perfect example. It features layered fruit, a solid ripe tannic backbone, and refreshing acidity. It seems to be only at early maturity, I expect this to age well for at least a decade. Terrific value too.

2010 vintage. Deep golden colour, heading to amber. Bee wax, honey, dried apricots, orange peel, and a hint of rosemary. While this will not be to everyone's taste, it still has a lot to offer if you like older whites, even if it might be slightly over the hill. Abv. 13,5%. — 4 days ago

2018 vintage. This is more structured compared to the Fleur des Champs. 30% (used) oak. A very solid Fleurie that will age well. Ripe red fruits, velvety tannin, juicy acidity, and very good length. Abv. 12,5%. Excellent value too. Gamay lovers beware! — 6 days ago
