Domaine Carroi Bon Air (Luc Sébille)

Les Débonnaires Chinon Cabernet Franc 2013

Alltså jag älskar den här stilen! Enkel Chinon. Hallon och vinbär, lite stallig, gräs, örter. Så mkt karaktär! Härligt läskande torr och pigg syra. En del tanniner men fortfarande inget som kräver mat. Kyl ner till 16-ish🌟 — 10 years ago

Gérard Raphet

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2006

Having read Clive Coates and Jancis Robinson comments on Clos de Vouget my expectations had been adjusted a light Pinot which opened up with good fruit raspberry and strawberry with mint notes a good Otago NZ could equal this, went well with baked Salmon — 11 years ago

Domaine Leroy

Les Cazetiers Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1949

Vintage 1949 in Burgundy according to Broadbent: “..most perfect end of a decade - elegant, well-balanced wines”; Clive Coates in his book Cote D'Or: "best vintage of 40's all-perfect beauty and purity”; Robert M. Parker Jr.: “it was the best of post world war II vintages before 1959”
Henri Leroy at that time was négociant based in Auxey-Duresses, his mythical daughter Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1949 was only seventeen.
Les Cazetiers is amongst the most elevated of Premier Cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin - and indeed the whole of Burgundy.
I drank this precious bottle on Mount Etna with #FrankCornelissen and other dear friends. Uncork this bottle lead to a surgical operation. Just begun to pull it out, a light breath of wine molecule with air bubbles magically have emerged on the surface of the cork. It's been like witness the passing away of a dying old man (or Pinot Noir must be a woman?) That humanized wine had held "élan vital", hope and breath inside him for the last 66 years! A miracle of a wine still so tasty, robust, citrusy, vibrant, earthy, incredibly alive and well-preserved despite color and neck level did not bode so well.. that's what I thought and I'll remember until I die: "the wine was waiting for us to drink it up, he gave off his mortal blow to offer us life, joy and smile!"

Aalto

Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo 2010

Fantastisk, bärig doft och smaken går åt samma håll men med en balanserad torr strävhet som gör att vinet får en behagligt fyllig känsla utan att bli tillgjort fruktigt. Mycket bra. tack @Tony Camsjö — 11 years ago
