No sediment when this half bottle poured. Bright acidity, subtle red fruits when handled gently, with patience. — 4 years ago

An Aglianico from Campania. Mouldy Savoury raspberries with aromas of barnyard and stable manure. Intensely savoury. My notes do not do justice to this Central Italian Red. In summary I very much liked it. Tasted again 9 weeks later. Notes as above but seems more highly savoury with notes of wet nappy and geranium. Don’t get me wrong but highly recommended. — 7 years ago

Silky smooth. The nose takes you into the vinyard... The taste is just divine. A perfect red burgundy. 1.5 hrs after opening still getting better and bigger. — 9 years ago

Clear dark red. Sour red currant and leather on the nose and palate. Medium acidity and medium plus grippy tannins. We had it with Greek cuisine. Does a moussaka justice. — 8 years ago

I don't really want to describe it as I know there's no way my words will do it justice so take what I write here and times that goodness by 100. It's a rose gold colour on the eye with the finest streams of bubbles rising in the glass. On the nose it's like cherry jam on toast with exceptional acidity that makes it so fresh and vibrant. I regret saying other wines are smooth because this champagne is the definition of that! It's juicy on the palate with a sturdy backbone and flavours of apple and berries coming through. I would run a marathon just for another sip of this amazing elixir. — 9 years ago

Bouchard’s Blanc de Noirs Val Vilaine is especially strong in 2017 and also a fabulous introduction to this range of magnificent Champagnes. Beautifully resonant and inviting, the 2017 is so gorgeous. Pear, baked apple, dried flowers, mint and spice all build as the 2017 opens up in the glass. More than anything else, the 2017 impresses with its poise and raciness. The slightly reductive character found in some previous releases is not present in the 2017, and that really lets the purity of the fruit shine through. Bouchard does not push this site to the degree he does most of his other vineyards, so the Val Vilaine doesn’t quite offer the complexity of the top wines here, but words really can’t do justice to just how delicious the 2017 is. Don’t miss it. No dosage. Disgorged: April, 2019. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2019)

A long two weeks forging our new “frontier” deserves this aptly named drop of gorgeous grape juice. Blackberry jam and tobacco with some pepper. #VAMOS — 6 years ago

What a beautiful person inside and out! I'm blessed beyond measure to be able to call him "Dad". Words can't adequately express how much I Love him. We opened a few bottles last night that I will hold near and dear to my heart forever. We are celebrating his completion of 6 rounds of chemo therapy in his battle against Prostate cancer. This is his 3rd time in the ring against this opponent and it appears that he's won with a unanimous decision by knockout at this time!!!!!! Love you dad!!!!! So proud of your strength through this process. My Father was born in 1940. A difficult year to say the least:
Germans entered Bordeaux in June of 1940. As dictated by Hitler himself, it was the sworn duty of each and every commander to search and seize whatever could be used for the advancement of the German cause. Bedlam broke out. Chateaux' were ransacked, wine cellars were looted if not used for target practice. The Chateauxs were forced to continue producing wines. It's poetic justice that Mother Nature provided the Germans with the worst growing season from 1940 to 1944!!!! The Germans left Bordeaux in 1944 to the cheers of the residents "Au Revoir Les Allemands"!!!! The 1940 bottle that we enjoyed this evening survived World War II. It Survived the ransacking, pillaging & plunder of countless German soldiers. It's outer capsule showed evident signs of its struggle but it's inner beauty was unblemished and glorious. I've had many, many vintages of Latour from 1928 and on but none have ever tasted as perfect as the one we enjoyed tonight. This 1940 was perfect. It was a fighter, it never gave up, it never relinquished in the face of adversity. That's my Father, that my role model. He's a beautiful person inside & out. I think 1940 is the best vintage that I have ever had the privilege to enjoy. Special thanks to my good friends Michael Troise whom provided me with much of the insights in regards to the incredibly difficult vintage and David Page whom gifted this bottle to me for our celebration this evening. I will never forget your generosity. It was a glorious evening to say the least!!! Wine has a way of bringing people together and encapsulating an evening and event. I couldn't think of a better way to rejoice in his victory than to open a Father & Son birth year wine. — 8 years ago
