Cornas Syrah 2015

Was going to get the 2016 given I generally love that vintage across much of Europe but the somm talked me into the 2015 saying it was more open. He was right - this was delicious, and still traditional and “old school” with a restrained 13.5%. Tons of pepper and dark dark fruit with some olive. Very delicious with nice medium acid and a long finish. — 4 years ago

Martin Stelling Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Solid wine. Comes across very fruity and smooth. Complexity and tannins are faded. Really nice fruit. Highly enjoyable with food or on its own. — a year ago

Domaine Grand Veneur Les Origines Chateauneuf -du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2013

Family vacation night one in Wildwood.

BlackBerry, licorice, a bit of smoke, and slate. Very good. Drinking well now with a short decant but has many more years left.

Brut Champagne Blend 2005

This is a very complex Champagne with earthy, nutty flavors and a hint of stone fruit. I'm looking forward to enjoying another evening trying to parse out its rich flavors. — 11 years ago

Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2012

The last bottle of my 2012 Vosne Romanée from Alain Hudelot Noëllat and its a wonderful show that it manage to put up. Like a grand dame in its golden years bit with a hell of a spirit its displaying evolving characters of dried strawberries, rose petals, blood orange and menthol that is backed up by a prominent choir of nutmeg, clove, truffles, wet stones and forrest floor. Fresh palate with very present but smooth tannins, an expansive palate as the encore slowly fades out in a very respectful and balanced finish.
Day 2 tasting and its pumped up, more nuanced, defined and dresses up to its teeth in elegance. The last bottle of six will leave its mark for sure. Divine!

Richebourg Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Regal on the nose, grand cru depth and complexity, mixture of berries and cherries. Concentrated blueberry tea. Seductive on the nose and palate. Darker than the RSV, which is typical for Richebourg. For 2010, prefer the RSV. — 8 years ago

Viña de Martin Escolma White Blend

9.5

Incredibly layered stuff, with teeth-staining minerality, balanced by rich fruit flavors, bordering on tropical with plenty of grilled lemon juiciness in reserve. Never-ending finish with a complex tannic grip providing lift and energy. Thru 2020, at least. — 11 years ago
