Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2022

Honest this one’s just okay. A bit too much alc. Says 13.2% but feels closer to 14%. It’s just out of balance — 10 days ago

Zinfandel 2022

This is enjoyable in a massive CA overripe wine style! There’s a good amount of all the peppers, bell, jalapeños, white, cracked black, huge amount of purple/black fruit. Jan. Vanilla and some woodsy notes. I’d drink again. — 2 months ago

Les Fichots Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022

Lyle Fass
9.4

Another epic Fichots from Girard. Deep deep mid to late season cherry and glorious spice. Wow the fruit in 22 is so aromatically expressive at the moment. Just gorgeous. Stunning palate with deep deep fruit but also those fierce Fichot tannins. Juicy, silky and sweet but structured and epic. Wow the tannins. This needs mega air but this is a monumental Fichots. Tasting today and still a beast but has that absurd 22 fruit. I’d wait a decade at least. — 4 months ago

Rapture Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

This and the rose are my favorites from Michael David. Huge wine. Explosion of fruit on the nose. Not a lot of oak/wood which is great. Smooth and drinkable. This is a great bbq wine that at or just bellow cellar temp is even better. I’d buy again — a month ago

Les Serpentières Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2021

Nose: the most beautiful smoke. Cherries. A gorgeous herbal aspect. Cherry flowers. More savory as it opens. So precise it’s utterly penetrating.

Palate: so bright and fresh and clean. The purest cherry juice. A mineral cherry stream. Changes every 15 minutes. Elegant licorice. Cherry silk. Wow.
