1979 vintage. In magnum. At Hotel du Marc. Pale copper hue. On the nose, soy sauce, cranberry sauce, red currant, saline minerality. On the palate, medium plus acidity, medium minus body, medium concentration of flavour. Longish finish. Very good indeed. Drink now - in magnum, could age for another 5 years +. — 9 years ago

Very dry wine at this point, tannic, blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, cooked rhubarb, backing spice and lots of crushed rocks and minerals. — 10 years ago

Rosado 2000 LdH

Garnacha 60%, Tempranillo 30%, Viura 10%
Medium salmon to a copper rim.
Amazingly complex nose. Buttery (suggesting diacetyl from malolactic fermentation), nutty (suggesting extended oxidative aging in oak barrels, probably used), toasted almond (oxidative acetaldehyde aromas), savory sweet toast (used oak), slight animal fur (suggesting Brettanomyces). Predominantly savory. Slight acetaldehyde.

A bit flat on the palate, with medium body, medium alcohol (12%), medium acid (tart sour almond skin finish I associate with excessive acetaldehyde), and no phenolic bitterness. Some notes of sour old coconut milk (possibly signs of extended aging in used American oak barrels - it spends 4.5 years in oak). Also some sweet vanilla and bourbon/maple syrup aromas (also probably used American oak. Nutty toasty almond skins and biscotti. — 11 years ago

2002 vintage Rose. Light salmon, copper hue. Chalk, wet rock to the fore. Red currant and cranberry. Slight blossom notes. Iron fragments. On the palate, very lean and balanced as is the Crystal style. Not the concentration of the white 2002. If there's any tannins here, you have to focus to notice them. Maybe at the back end there's a touch of weight from the tannins. Very young - too young. Don't touch for 7-10 years. Makings of a great wine as acidity is so balanced with the fruit. Love it. NB: Pinot cold macerated for 4 days - to extract colour but little tannins. Then blended with Chardonnay and co-fermented. Quite unique. No added red wine per se. — 11 years ago

From Jean Bourdy. Jura Macvin, reduced in a copper kettle, fortified, and blended with 20 alpine spices. Classified as a liqueur, although still only 16%. Wild nose, liquid carrot cake. Quite unique and a lot of fun. — 12 years ago

2014,,, Jolie-Laide, Fannucchi Road Vineyard, Sonoma County, Trousseau Gris. One of the most gorgeous wines ever (color). A rich, shimmering copper. This is aging well. Much better than the first bottle that I opened for Mother's Day last year. Bright, tart strawberry and a hint of tangerine. Just a great patio wine on a crisp Spring evening. One bottle left. When is the 2015 available? — 10 years ago
