Au Fil du Temps Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2020

Lyle Fass
9.3

Wow. What a wine. I love this Crozes. Nose is full of pepper, grilled meats, blackberry, black raspberry, dark blueberry and lots of crushed granite. Just awesome. Mashed violets now with air. Palate is rich yet energetic with terrific precision and silky depth. Juicy and full of black fruits and crushed granite. Needs air but wonderfully elegant palate with really high quality tannins. Needs air. Air has helped. More lacey and complete. — 3 months ago

Longue Garde Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2010

Star of a two Bandol night, but this at age 14( minus a week or two). Deeper, plush, black violet & cassis nose; on palate tannins really nicely integrated, wild blackberries, more cassis & black currants. Crazy elegant and generous. Feels open. Distant notes of some kind of bark & forest floor. Older wild flowers.Eye opener, in sense of how far Bandol can go for me. — 5 months ago

Happy for Bandol-heads to emerge out of the shadows…this was a significant wine for me, very surprising- perhaps because my previous experiences were with Bandols that were still closed or too tight (Tempier, for example) @Tom Casagrande

Once had a Bandol that I thought was a bad buy. Though as nails. It openend up extremely beautiful. After twenty years. 🫣

Dhondt-Grellet

Assemblage "Dans un Premier Temps..." Extra Brut Champagne

Jan A
9.1

Base champagne of Dhondt Grellet. I get a beautiful balanced nose suggesting a very high end champagne. On the palate I get that vinous quality of still wine popping through. Brioche, yeasty, bread. The bubbles are a bit course and edging towards harshness and that brings me to the rest of the palate where there is plenty acidity but also a bit thin.

A base champagne that is definitely punching above it's weight!

2019 base vintage.
