Joshua Cooper

Doug's Vineyard-Romsey Pinot Noir 2019

Tossed in to a mix of red burgs, and it stood out as a new world pino with it's cleaner fruit and "modernity" (as G puts it, less VA?). I think it's all about the structure of the wine in comparison. Josh's was definitely lighter versus the d'Eugénie and Mugneret-Gibourg, the acid perceivably more prominent (almost steely), and minerality less so (if any at all). That's not to detract from Josh's really delicious creation, it's just different.

A light wine with heaps of flavour built around a red fruit core. Reflects the vineyard well I feel, having worked with the fruits from the Newnham family (same plot?) in 2017 and briefly in 2018 - small berries that produced lightly-coloured, aromatically charged wines with minimal tannins. This was in the same vein I feel, but Josh certainly pulled a lot more subtance out of these fruit than we did at KW. He's managed to weave in spicy, earthy, herbaceous nuances, and definitely extracted more colour. Mouthwatering acidity and commendable length. Probably the best Australian pino I've had all year (not like I had much to begin with)!

@Ceccherini Cristiano Wouldn't call them rivals, but I get what you mean. Josh is quite a maverick in the region. Of course there's Place of Changing Winds, which takes things to an extreme to say the least. Michael at Bindi's at the pinnacle for me. The thoughts and history behind the wines are quite remarkable, and of course the wines themselves too. And then there's Ben and Sally at Wilimee - they're really doing great things with their 5ha plot and I couldn't recommend the wines enough. Domaine Epis is another producer making unique expressions of wine. And Josh's family winery - that Lagrein is quite smth in the right years. Oh, and there's my great friend Brian at Hunter-Gatherer. Still finding his stride with his vineyard outside Romsey but clearly has the right ideas. Hahaha. You just got me really excited about the Macedon. I do love the region ❤

@Ceccherini Cristiano Great to hear that you and the family's in a good space now. It must be beautiful. Melbourne was home for close to 11 years, and I still do think of it as our second home. For now, we're back in Malaysia. More specifically in the east (Borneo) in a city called Kuching. Hasn't been an easy two years, especially for the mind, as you said. Definitely looking brighter these days. Admittedly, i've got no idea about the wines of Calabria, let alone Pollino. Haha. That said, you're technically right in the center of wine. Can't be hard to access the great wines of Europe from where you are, and without the worry of provenance in most cases. That's a crazy task moving all your wines.

@Aaron Tan 😄😄it does sound like we share the love for the region😄😄
and i guess Australia must have a soft spot for both of us and have its wine.
You are right in saying that everything is more accessible from here and that's definitely a plus, but my real mission has always been to find the unknown and discover new reality, you know like meeting new people, new stimulation.
I don't fancy to win easy and so i am now hardly banging my head on a lot of rough wines here in the South, but that's ok...time will come for a little win i hope😂😂. Take care and cheers my friend🙏

Mongeard-Mugneret

Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1993

Great comparison of 2 GC, both '93, not a vintage that would be regarded as spectacular, the Mongeard-Mugneret was all showy and expressive when opened, the Mugneret-Gibourg needed a little more time to come around, but at a pinch I think the M-M was the hit. — 9 years ago

Domaine Robert Gibourg

Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2015

The nose is a bit on the secondary aromas side with a bit of oak and some toast. Then there is a bright sour cherry touch and some hay. Even a bit of leather. The palate is well designed with a strong acid backbone, some bright fruit, a good grip and some width, as should be expected for a Gevrey, strong, unresolved tannins. The finish is long and powerful with fruit and some complexity thanks to the tannins. Very good village level Gevrey. — 6 years ago

Domaine Bachelet

Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

Cool, stems but hardly green, a bit of cotton candy, charming nose, solid structure. Most people guessed Chambolle, Mugneret Gibourg. My second Bachelet and similar to the first one, there was a hint of stems and green peas. Yet, I found this one much more pleasant. The vintage surprised everyone including myself. There's a need to recalibrate my perceptions of 2015... — 7 years ago

Clos Vougeot Pinot Noir 1976

1976 - this is a monster wine. Dark inky color w/ some secondary funk on the nose. Would have liked it a touch sweeter but still very nice with no real dryness that we see from many of the 76’s - very nice wine! — 7 years ago

Morey-Saint-Denis Pinot Noir 2013

Ever had a wine and said to yourself "this will be perfect in a couple of years". Well, I'm currently hunting down a few bottles of this one to lose in my cellar for a while. Sweet black cherry and under ripe plum, pomegranate seed and cranberry ride on top of fine sharp tannin that reminds me of Italy. Looking forward to seeing you again. — 9 years ago

Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2009

Nice follow up after Emmanuel Rougets Vosne Romanee 2009. This one really threw many of us off. Perhaps it was because the person who brought it slow-oxed it since morning. Anyway here goes... Very beautiful, floral, charming. Rousseau like. More fresh than the Rouget. Developing herbal notes towards the end. Guessed Mugneret Gibourg. Shocked everyone. — 7 years ago

Domaine Fourrier

Vieille Vigne Les Gruenchers Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Beautiful violet and rose petal aromatics. Multiple layers of floral notes and red fruits gliding in and out. Once again, touch of iron that made think that the village was from Gevrey, but could only think of two producers who make such elegant GC: Fourrier and Mugneret Gibourg. The floral quality and lack of candy notes left me with the former. Guessed Fourrier GC VV 2014 due to the relatively short finish (fooled by the vintage) but sappy tannins. — 8 years ago

Surprisingly fairly elegant for Clos de Vougeot. Not in the same league of intensity and complexity as Mugneret-Gibourg or Engel renditions, although less masculine than other Producers. I am guessing plot is below mid slope. — 10 years ago
