Revisiting the 2016 Umino from Chasseur. It is still going strong with vibrant red fruit, earthiness, nice acidity. I will miss these when they are gone (final vintage from Chasseur) — 3 months ago
Beautiful mouthfeel, so smooth and creamy and very different. An Assyrtiko for richer and fattier dishes including steak or lamb. — 4 months ago
Always excited to taste a new vintage of this great Malbec blend. Opening up quickly 48% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Franc. Grippy tannins. Deep purple. Elegant with some spice notes. Long finish. Perfect for a Memorial Day BBQ with burgundy Tri tip. 🇺🇸🍷 — 20 days ago

Great nose of spice dark red cherries, some plum and a meatiness. Decaying. leaves and huge minerals. Expansive. Palate has that extraordinary Rebourgeon fruit wrapped in silk. Gorgeous finesse here. Long and juicy. Black and red cherries galore. So well made. — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The “Cuvée 741” is based heavily on the 2013 vintage and sourced from vineyards in Aÿ, Dizy, Avize, Hautvillers and Oiry. The wine pours a yellow color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of lemons, nuts, brioche and minerals. It seemed to be a bit on the oxidative side right when I pulled the cork but it brightened up after about 30min of air. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and zippy. This is a complex, sophisticated Champagne and always such a delight. Drink now through 2033. Disgorged in December 2017. — a day ago
