Hermitage Syrah 2014

Amazing Syrah. Earth, leather, tar, smooth tannins, long finish, blackberry, accompanied by a powerful nose. Ready to drink without decanting. This is the gold capsule version. Worth its $95 price tag. — 3 months ago

La Maltroie Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Meaningfully better on day 2 than day 1. At first presents slightly one note but with a bit of time this really comes into its own. Great depth and richness balanced with round acids and a long finish. — 8 months ago

Coeur de Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2009

Medium deep garnet, ruby core with medium light garnet rim . This is quite meaty and deep on the nose , with earthy dark cherry , porcini , sweet blackberry and spiced sous bois . On the palate this is quite severe and serious , darker fruits , ripe blackberry , cherry and hint of blackcurrant, herbal hints. Quite gritty , slightly drying tannins , fresh acidity . Earthy , dusty dark cherry edged finish , ok medium length. Quite ambitious for a village and arguably not ready yet , tannins need a little more time to integrate. From now and over the next 5 years, if not longer . — 9 months ago

@Andrew Cullimore i’m still sitting on my ‘ 05’s from this producer. Stylistically not everyone’s cup of tea..

Yes , I would agree with you there @Ira Schwartz , and no it’s not my preferred style , but it is certainly a well made wine . Based on my experience with 2005 in general , you will probably need to leave your Dugat Py’s another decade !

Domaine Bernard Gripa

Les Figuiers Blanc St. Péray White Rhone Blend 2016

This is finally drinking.

Nose: fleeting endless white flowers. Deep. Dense. Endless. Liquid white flowers. Insane.

Palate: a perfectness. Silky. A touch of richness. A presence. Magnificent. Reverberates.

A perfectness about this. A gleaming golden harmony that transcends any tasting note and exceeds the limits of language. .

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2017

This is just lovely…
Lemonzest, red apples, wet rocks. Delicate hints of ginger, candyshop and matchstick. Really like the balance of acidic freshness, some richness in the mid palate and citrus bitters in the very long and chalky dry finish.
Better at cellar temperature than straight out of the fridge.
