Bernard Bremont Grand Cru Ambonnay — 6 years ago
This is an excellent modern-day entry level Cabernet Franc. Dazzlingly simple, yet awash with refreshing weight, dark fruit, Chinese spices, and a subtle dollop of black/green tea. If you are looking for something less obvious go back to red Burgundy. (This red straddles old world structure with new world gloss. I fear gloss will eventually win out. But for now...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾) — 6 years ago

7 December 2017. The Four Horsemen, Brooklyn, NY. — 8 years ago
2013 vintage. In the cellars in Meursault with Bertrand Boisset. Difficult to tell the colour in the cellar light. Great, refined nose - oak is evident but not overwhelming, nutty and citrus fruits. Tight and too young to drink right now. Fabulous tension and high acidity, medium light body, medium alcohol and medium plus concentration and length. Mineral notes on the mid palate. Complex and intellectual. Drink 2020-2036+ — 9 years ago
Creamy goodness.

This was a monster out of the gate and held its own. Really impressed. Shows age but not softness. Elegant, open, beeswaxy, beautiful — 11 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our Pops conductor Keith Lockhart is leading a live-to-picture performance of Star Wars: A New Hope, a showing of the classic 1977 film, with the Orchestra performing Mr. Williams’ iconic score.
For live-to-picture productions, the orchestra performs the entire movie score in real time as the film unspools. (Vocals, dialogue and effects are isolated from the original music track.)
Generally we get to hear Star Wars scores a couple times per season here at Tanglewood, but tonight we get a chance to hear them with the backdrop of the movie (Episode IV) that launched a franchise, to say the least!
I celebrated another full trip around the sun, since my coming into this world, earlier this week. Tonight my wife, some dear friends and me will be enjoying some enticing wines along with our movie night. So notes...maybe, but I'll try!

Lemon, flowers, seashells on the nose. Beautiful palate of lemons, lime, a touch of oak/bread, honey, salinity, lingers for many minutes. Drinking very well with an hour or so of air. — 7 years ago

2014 Prologue. Holy moly! This is unadulterated fun! Love this wine more every vintage. Perfect with André Soltner roasted poussin with pan-roasted carrots and fingerlings. — 11 years ago

YUM. This is exactly what I want in my Gamay - barely effervescent, a little funk and super juicy. #shouldhavebought2 — 7 years ago
Great with citrus and garlic — 9 years ago
2011. Crisp green apple flavors predominate. Very fresh with good acidity. — 11 years ago
Surprisingly light. It starts with a floral overlay - it's there then dissipates into a light finish and then gone. Any easy drink — 11 years ago
Sipping Fine Wine
Pale lemon with stone and citrus fruit aromas. On the palate crisp apple with lemons honey and flinty notes. This medium-body wine was smooth with a wet stone character with overall good balance. The wine finishes with pronounced mineral notes on a medium+ ending. Very Nice! — 10 months ago
