On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading GERSHWIN (Piano Concerto in F), GERSHWIN (Variations on “I Got Rhythm,” for piano and orchestra) and STRAVINSKY (Petrushka) with the amazing Jean-Yves Thibaude as the piano soloist on the two first works presented today. Jean-Yves is by far among our favorite pianists to grace the Koussevitzky Shed stage, so graceful, yet poignant!

Hot days call for cool wines, today there are some fun ones planned for sharing.

Nose has crazy apricot flesh, orange blossom, grapefruit zest and pineapple.

Palate has pleasurable acidity with citrus bias, sweet impressions but dry finish, glass coating viscosity. — 7 years ago

Vintage 1990 - vieilles vignes #cheninblanc #montlouis Absolutely impeccable balance with very rich smell, hay, butter, honey. Great wine, surely a Point but with also a lot of life in future. I drank the wine with rillettes. — 9 years ago

You need to give this bottle time - at least 60-90 minutes. Opened extremely flat but turned around to a classic BEaux Freres with great blackberry and floral aromas — 9 years ago

A fantastic, serious wine and a fantastic deal. Really classic Morey st Denise. An enchanting and intoxicating nose with dark fruit, sweet earth, meaty notes, bay leaf and thyme; a hint of leather and game, maybe eucalyptus or amaro and an ethereal undercurrent of natural woods, woodsy without oaky or vanilla notes. Powerful, Round, rich, silky and savory on the palate. Not at all opulent but just in a great window with some resolves tannins despite still having a strong tannic spine. Baking spices followed by Sweet earth and sandalwood dominate a long finish. With air, also get a long dark cherry note, maybe some chocolate covered cherry. Deeper and more exotic savory notes. SIlky, plush and an earthier expression of a chambolle. Serious, and maybe even sexy ;-) — 7 years ago

Drinks like a crisp fall day. Lightly cooked dark fruit--plums and dark cherries to my mouth--with a sturdy structure around it and some cedar, smoke and maybe a touch of sweet spice under it. Gonna swallow it down with stew so, we'll see. — 12 years ago

Currently a bit muted upon opening, the 2011 Beaux Freres ‘Willamette Valley’ Pinot Noir needs more than a one hour decant prior to enjoying at this juncture. Once aroused this awakens to beautiful citrus tones and red fruit aromatics that build in the glass. The palate shows a really good texture and roundness with delicate pomegranate seed, red cherry candy and blood orange flavors that entice. There his a good elegance to this lighter style Pinot Noir. Drinking nicely now, this has another six plus years of life left. Drink 2019-2026- 92 — 7 years ago

Roasted plums, raspberry, smoke. Savory & Syrah-like, except for a pronounced Alpine minerality. No reduction, no brett. — 10 years ago

Hallmark Willamette Valley Pinot with some backbone. Well structured and great representation of Beaux Freres style without quite the finesse and finish of the name labeled, but about half the price tag. (Great with homemade black truffle pasta!) — 10 years ago
