Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Note, in 2019 hail cut yields by 40%, Deep Ruby with concentrated aromas of ripe dark fruits and spices. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with leather, licorice and smoky herb notes. Fine tannins, hints of oak on medium+ finish ending with fruit, herb and earthy mineral tones. Nice! — 2 years ago

Dark pungent wine. Taste better than smell. 15%. Sat for over an hour and didn’t open up. Drinkable but not what I expected for a a chateauneuf du pape — 4 years ago

Pretty much exactly what you’d guess an Italian Gamay would taste like. Plus Gros’ gotta stick together. — 5 years ago

Amazing nose. Some complexities not often seen in rose. Earthy, forest floor tones on the nose intermixed with berries growing in the underbrush. Lovely acid and body. Sweet finish — 5 years ago

As good as it gets, maybe coarse foam, but all the right chardonnay notes. — 7 years ago

Felt rather normal, if that even makes sense. Would still drink it anyday. — 8 years ago

2013 vintage. Primary fruit evident. Some bread notes. Stone fruits. Quite round. Acidity less noticeable. But bitter on finish. Pretty good. — 10 years ago

Wide open poet, a little like the Qupe Marsanne, not quite as deep and rich, though — 3 years ago

Chalk, seashell, green apple and green gooseberries. Some lily and honeysuckle. And white pepper on the finish. Powerful, tensely coiled, with screaming acid. Not super approachable now but serious wine that should age well. — 4 years ago

Komplex och koncentrerad med riktigt fin textur. Nötig, rökig, mogen citron, vitt te, nektar och gula plommon. Bra vulkanisk vingård norr om Tokaj, den klart bästa från WineWaves tokaj-låda. — 5 years ago

Stenig doft med mandelmassa. Gul färg. Snygg balans med fat, frukt, något lite utvecklat. Enormt god syra och mineral. Drack det här på nyår, upplevs ännu godare ikväll ställt mot andra odlarchampagner. — 7 years ago

Ok entering a hopefully long peak drinking window. Beautifully balanced, long and still refreshing — 10 years ago

Terra orca is right! The earth is coming at me and I’m seeing red. But not the red of fury, the red of passion, the red of pleasure, and the red of desire. One sip of this and desire for the pleasure of passion from this wine endures. The palate parties with minerals. — 4 years ago

Well that might the best $24 I spent. Couldn’t pass up a late vintage release. — 4 years ago

Just starting to drink well and should improve and hold steady for the next decade. Is St. Joseph the Gigondas the Northern Rhone? A little under the radar, can deliver tremendous pleasure and value and at the same time, can be frustratingly inconsistent. — 4 years ago

2009 vintage, disgorged June 2013. 100% Pinot Meunier. I'm starting to love the unique flavor profile of this grape. A beautiful streak of acidity right down the palate, with a hint of fruit that just rolls around on the mid palate, making it a fun bottle. — 8 years ago
