Very special opportunity to try this ~30 year old GSM from one of my favorite winemakers. Dark spicy fruit still very much alive with enchanting secondary characteristics--smokey mesquite / campfire, earth, rocks, leather on both nose and palate. Thanks @Max Kogod! Got any more? 🙂 — 8 years ago
New vintage of Les Enfants continued. More robust on the palate than previous vintages, but equally elegant. A true California interpretation of a Beaujolais. Can't wait to release! — 9 years ago
Bright & fresh. Meaty & smoky. Good balance and intensity but nowhere over the top. — 9 years ago

Stunning bottle of wine. So unusual to find the Mourvèdre grape in isolation. Recommended to be by my Majestic rep, and boy was he right?!? A really interesting red; incredibly rich but with a delicate and elegant finish. My favourite wine to date. — 7 years ago
Very nice. A little acidic out of the gate, but mellows nicely in the glass. — 7 years ago

The nose displayed a dark and fascinating bouquet of crushed blackberry, smoke, grilled meats, animal musk, mint leaf, and floral undergrowth. On the palate, I found fresh and vibrant textures offset by rich red fruits, granular minerality, hints of pepper, inner floral and earth tones. The finish was long, resonating on a mix of wild berries, spice and savory herbs. — 9 years ago
Love North Rhone Syrah.
Pure game with a little smoke, white pepper and bright fruit. I have a total bias for this style of wine. — 9 years ago

Not that familiar with Zin but had a good mouthfeel, not much tannin, strawberry up front and was good with steak. — 7 years ago
Three shades of Pinot. Texture and creamy heft, green apple, but cutting and determined. Some lil Debbie xmas tree cake but no sweetness. Honeydew and lilac — 7 years ago

2015 is delicious. Soft and rich enough to drink now, but still a nice light mineral backbone. Lemon meringue, white flowers. — 8 years ago
Vendredi saint diner chez Sophie.
Les enfants sont à la garderie. La promotion de Lo et l'achat de la nouvelle maison à célébrer. On commande Le Bourg 2010... malheureusement il ne reste que Poyeux 2011 ... pas grave ! Premier verre plutôt timide. Après 30 minutes, commence à se livrer. Très floral et sur les framboises. Texture caressant le palais. Longueur moyenne +. Encore 5 à 7 ans en bouteille lui fera grand bien — 8 years ago
1958 vintage. From Jay. 1958 Bartolo Mascarello - Brief Note from Galloni Historical Retrospective Held in London April 26, 2016. From 1.9L format. Very light rose colour. Typical nose of crushed roses and violets mixed with ancient saddle leather and a hint of very old crushed mint. The wine still posses good fruit although it is clearly in the twilight of its life. Some medicinal elements on the palette but these are enjoyable and well integrated. Otherwise the palette is both ethereal and elegant. It has both poise and elegance and remains a gorgeous expression of Nebbiolo despite its maturity. Fraises sauvages, raspberries, and hints of slightly unripened pomegranate blend together seamlessly. The finish is smooth with medium length. I have been fortunate enough to have this wine on three separate occasions in the last twelve months and my notes have been consistent. 96/100. Drink Now. — 9 years ago

Interesting Carignane from vines planted in the 1890s. Rustic wine brimming with wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Violet notes with spice and lively acidity on the finish. — 6 years ago
