Célebre Data

Henriot

Brut Souverain Champagne Blend

Henriot often flies under the radar and I get it, there are so many options out there...but don’t sleep on this house. This, their most modest offering, delivers immense pleasure for the price. A near 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (I guess they use 5% Pinot Meunier) the Brut Souverain displays well ripened pears, lightly roasted nuts, slightly burned brioche and a kiss of citrus. The texture is rich and creamy. The finish is long and satisfying. No disgorgement data. While there is a code on the back, I was social and wasn’t going to give myself the brain damage to decode that mess. — 5 years ago

La Combe Aux Moines Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1978

1978 Gevrey. Showing significant signs of deconstruction, but an interesting data point nonetheless. Just too many years under this ones belt. — 7 years ago

Dassai Sake Brewery

50 Junmai Daiginjo Yamaguchi Sake

SMV +4. Yellow fruit dominated, with unripe peach, yellow papaya, melon, orange blossom water, Chenin-like honeyed quality. Impression is a little sweeter than would have expected based on technical data. Very good, nevertheless. — 9 years ago

Shafer Vineyards

Finca La Anita

Malbec 2012

Hoje nossa sobrinha Isadora faz 10 anos e eu e a Thalie resolvemos comemorar à distância essa data tão importante. Então, a forma que achamos de comemorar é com esse vinho. Nada mais Isadora que esse #fincaLaAnita. #malbec de personalidade forte, cheiro floral e é daqueles excelentes de ter sempre por perto. A única diferença é o equilíbrio gigante desse vinho, já a Isadora é mais passional. (: te amamos, Isadora. — 10 years ago

Hedges Family Estate

Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Let 'er breathe and glory awaits! Lush berries and licorice notes dominate a balanced, elegantly oaked wine.

Also kudos on the detailed data on the label of the what, how and where of this Red Mountain wine.

9.5

They have two estate vineyards and this wine is from two other sites all barrel fermented 100% ml 40% new in barrel for 10 months has a pretty note of fresh buttered popcorn notes of vanilla and nutmeg spice with a good amount of tropical fruit all contracted fruit. 2013 one of the hottest year since they have recorded data. A nice balance of lightly toasted oak spice tropical fruit apples tangerine and bright crisp acidity cleaning things up on the finish. Finish 40+ excellent+ — 11 years ago

Brut Réserve Champagne Blend

NV. Disgorged 2018. Lots of data on the back, love it! Very clean and fruit-forward. Crisp apple, tart cherry, golden raspberry, wet rocks. Very little autolytic notes, which is more to my liking. Happy New Year! — 6 years ago

Domaine Faiveley (Joseph Faiveley)

Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1993

Nice ruby-tawny center with reddish amber rims. Dark and brooding, but mostly translucent. Fruit forward and attention grabbing nose. Notes of tart cherry, rhubarb, brown spice, garden soil and a little dried cranberries. While it has a little tartness in the nose, it is luscious in the mouth. And with air over the evening more fruit comes out of hiding but is always in balance against a firm structure. Don’t have much experience with the Mazis terroir myself but this was a great data point and really good tonight. — 7 years ago

Stony Hill

Napa Valley Pinot Chardonnay 1974

Tasted blind. Medium gold color. Looks older. Notes of dried apricots and beeswax. In the mouth it's nicely rich, but there's no significant acidity to balance against the fruit. We are all convinced this isn't Chardonnay. I guess 70's Bordeaux Blanc. No, its (old) CA Chardonnay. Interesting data point. — 8 years ago

Château Fuisse

Tête de Cru Pouilly-Fuisse Chardonnay 2011

Acacia and lemon, with light oak backbone, slightly oily but mostly show up on mineral side. Some tech data I found. It is a blend from about 40 parcels from Fuisse & Pouilly, and each of them is vinified separately. After blend is created part of it, is aged in oak barrels (mostly old barrels) and around 30% is stored in stainless steel to retain minerality and fruitiness. Blending tech seems to work resulting reach, fresh and balanced wine. — 10 years ago

Fattoria Selvapiana

Chianti Rùfina Sangiovese Blend 2018

I’m not sure what to make of Selvapiana yet. This, like the 2 other young examples I’ve had recently, showed some green flavor notes, alongside good fruit and good length. (I don’t recall anything like that in the few older ones I’ve tried.) interestingly, this bottle was more vigorous on night three. So, limited data, but seems these want both age and lots of air. — 5 years ago

Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg Eiswein Riesling 1998

M’s bday dinner (12/12). Tasted blind. But wait there’s more! A stealth late evening bottle is pulled. A guest is departing for Germany later this week and wanted another data point for his education before leaving. Medium gold color. Wild, young and exotic nose. Notes of mandarin orange, stones, kiwi, citrus, petrol and apricot. Rich with amazing acidity. Impactful. Long finish. Woke us up. Voilà! — 6 years ago

La Face Cachée de la Pomme

Neige Première Cidre de Glace Apple Ice Wine

Quebecois ice wine-style cidre. Smells like buttered rum, tastes like super-concentrated apples. Caramel and toffee as well, like a mythical white tawny Port meets cider. Very good and very appreciative of the complex technical data on the back label. — 9 years ago
