Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Les Enseignères Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay

2004 vintage. From Jay. How Coche can produce this quality of wine given that he is not working with a 1er let alone Grand Cru is testament to the wine making ability of this most noble of white wine Domaines. wine gives away little at first. elements of toasty hazelnuts and walnut shells present initially followed by floral tones. the wine is well balances with fine acidity and good minerality for a Puligny. Finish is good in length and satisfying. The wine developed well in the glass and put on more weight with aeration. This beats the pants off of many a well produced 1er Cru single vineyard PM. Another winner from Coche although not the best example of this wine I have had. 93/100. — 10 years ago

That's some baby killing, but so delicious nonetheless.

G.D. Vajra

Langhe Rosso Nebbiolo Blend 2011

Not a wine to have alone -- earthy, rosey, tar like. Medium tannin, good acid. Great with food. Transformed with a calzone. Mine was only $17 so it was a great value. — 10 years ago

La Crema

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2012

This is an all-around great wine. Not too spendy, not too fancy, great as a stand-alone or with just about any kind of meat dish. Solid. — 10 years ago

Araujo Estate

Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

A gorgeous testament to the prestige of Eisele Vineyard. At almost fifteen years old, the 2001 is just entering it's drinking window and shows an amazing amount of energy contrasted by shear power. The fresh and focused fruit, spice and floral bouquet alone is enough to seal the deal. It's a beautiful wine. — 10 years ago

Jurançon Sec Gros Manseng 2012

What a surprise w/ food! Alone, the implies a sweet wine. Full bodied, honey & pit fruit even though it's dry. Didn't care for it. At the dinner table, the impression of sweetness disappears, lovely dinner wine. Full body & texture crave umami rich foods. — 10 years ago
