Alex 88 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Straight without decant. Nose has a vegetal and herbs component which i like. Rhubart, sage and spice and red fruits. Palate is quite light and smooth with mineral but still got enough tannin for storage for another 10 yrs. There is chocolate, nutmeg, red pepper, — 4 years ago

Domaine Bachelet-Monnot

La Fussière Maranges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2016

2005 Marc & Alex Bachelet formed their domaine with aid of their Uncle Monnot & father, first release of the domaine’s Puligny wines garnered immediate recognition, locally & internationally, a rare feat in the wine world. Sourced from 11 acre vineyard, with an average age of 50 years. Aged for 12 months in French oak, has aromatic red fruit with earthy notes. On the palate cherry and strawberry with currant notes, fine smooth tannins, long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Nice! — 4 years ago

Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2013

Thanksgiving week with my in-laws.

Nose has crushed flint, unstruck wooden matches, pear skin, lightly oxidized green apple, lime peel and light barrel notes.

Palate has rich tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, ripe peach), brown butter, yellow apple, fresh brioche, saline and honey notes on the long finish. Outstanding bottle, fantastic as a Village wine can get.

Vineyards sourced: l'Ormeau, Les Essarts and Les Masures.

Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2009

Christmas 2018 🎄🎅
Still seemingly too youthful.

Day Two notes:
Nose is mascerated cherry/blackberry, hints of licorice and faint smoke of burning spring vines.
Palate has very gentle tannins, ripe black currant, ripe cherry and pipe tobacco.
Great bottle!

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Cali cabs all smell about the same to me: well polished with cedar and some Eucalyptus.

Tasting notes carry on this nose. Very elegant red fruits, sweetened by time and ripeness, almost akin to candied fruits in the fruitcakes aftertaste, strong and handsome, yet delicate and pretty., this has everything you want in a Cali can of this age. Nice strong Eucalyptus to round out the wine.
Good one for the Gavin and Stacey reunion show..

@TheSkip Ab fab indeed! Sometimes the Club really comes through. Never a hotel wine, so that’s cool.

JR wrote that sometimes he’s not right. I appreciated that sentiment. But he’s batting above average. I thought this was great at $20ish but would have been livid at the release price.
