#Remembrance #Love 6/25.
Sofia loved Penguins. We played w/ them in Dubai and she also skied indoor while I had a spot of Champagne and watched from a very big window. Only in Dubai. They have to build things of that nature…cus w/o them…just a bunch of sand. — a year ago

Brotte Barville La Fiole Vintage Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010, France
#AgedWineTuesday
Pretty color of light ruby with a light brick rim.
On the nose prunes, raisins and fresh red berries.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, light earth and peppercorn.
This 15-year-old red blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape feels very young, especially right out of the bottle, with lots of acidity to carry it much further. Complex and interesting. Elegant and rich.
An interesting wine with port-like aromas on the nose and feels very fresh on the palate.
Still young and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Delicious by itself as a sipping wine and good with food too.
A blend of mostly Grenache with Mourvedre, Syrah, Cinsault and 4 other local Varietals. Aged in French oak barrels for 10 years. A tiny production of only 900 bottles made.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$225. — 8 months ago

Bandol: pink or white.
It’s a slight culture shock as a moron gringo in the South of France when wines by the glass are identified not by producer or even by grape but simply by place. Bandol didn’t mean much to me as a place, I drove through it en route to Toulon from Marseille but that was about it. Probably it was the fact that it was a vague homonym for bandit drew me to it — which is admittedly kind of lame, but the wine seemed to deliver. Any more than the progeny of any other Mediterranean town would have? Je ne sais pas. But this wine right here is a phenomenal rosé.
50% Mourvèdre, 40% Cinsault, 10% Grenache from Bandol. — 6 years ago

Rich with great backbone. My first white gc and don’t know what to expect. Little overblown but but so good. this corton stuff is little confusing. — 8 years ago
