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!

Blended from the 6 sub regions, very different to rest of CO. Quite vibrant, quite ripe, 65% whole bunch but not too tannic, good balanced acidity. Good juicy red fruit, good elegance. — 9 years ago

"Brézé" Saumur Chenin Blanc 2002

Bacara. Still on the list. Alex and Lindsey give a thumbs up. Touch of oxidation, but I'm feeling it's where it should be. Great texture. Minimalist honeyed. — 10 years ago

Château Guiot

Cuvée Alex Costières-de-Nîmes Red Rhone Blend 2009

Nice syrah-cab blend. Bell pepper, red fruit, violet(?), earthiness (forest floor/mushroom). Nice, full body with mild tannin and well balanced alcohol. — 11 years ago

Lavender, not violet. The mushroom earthiness of the wine become much more expressive as it breathes. Delicious!
