Château De Bel Air

Paul Jaboulet Aîné

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 2003

Needs time to open up. Huge wine. Finish keeps going. Confusing but delicious mix of sweet dark fruit, tar, and salty ocean air. — 10 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2001

A little less exciting than I expected. Definitely opens with with air, but I did not experience the dense tastes some have described. Well balanced with soft tannins, but not much nose or finish. Maybe the 2001 is past its prime. — 11 years ago

Enderle & Moll

Liaison Pinot Noir 2013

With a little air, this gets fragrant fast. A focused beam of dark, sappy cherry and a very clean note of stony minerality. In the mouth it's soft, balanced, and really clingy. Perfectly integrated acids. The color is about one shade darker than a rose. This is going fast. Might not have night 2 notes!

UPDATE: Two night later, nose is explosively sappy floral mossy. Deep flavors contrasting with a delicate texture and great acids. Upping to 9.4. Terrific, unique wine.

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2009

APPEARANCE Clear Medium Ruby color. NOSE Clean Light aromas of Red berry fruit mélange, tea leaf, with air more notes of earth and spice.. PALATE Dry sweetness, Medium acid and Low tannin with Light body and flavours of spice that lessen on the palate while the tea flavors are more pronounced, however the red berry fruits are the most present of the flavors with a streak of minerality. which last for Medium length on the finish. Very Good quality. #beaujolais #morgon #lapierre — 12 years ago
