On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading just one wonderful piece, MAHLER (Symphony No. 3), accompanied with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.

We're revisiting some producer bottles from our late Spring France vacation earlier this year.

Stunning nose of pineapple core, wildflower honey and wet stones, I'm not sure I can actually describe all the magic happening in this glass. Palate is evolving with each sip, under-ripe pineapple, over-ripe pear, watery honey, light oak touch and wet slate dust. Just amazing!

Photos of beautiful late Spring (2018) biodynamic vineyard rows in Saint Aubin, my winemaker crush Jean Jacques Morel giving us the low down inside his living cellar and our bottle of the evening.

We only enjoyed about 1/3 of the bottle, saving for a day or so to see where this goes, notes will be updated. — 8 years ago

Always such a pleasure. Perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon. White cherries, mineral and some brioche on the lovely nose. So elegant and mineral with a nice delicate mousse. Good sap and concentration. Very juicy. — 9 years ago

Pretty funky upon opening. Horsey like a Raffault. But there is a sense of big cherry fruit lurking. Very floral as well. Some combo there of fresh flowers and horseshit. After 30-45 minutes the shit is gone and it’s all violets, earth and cherries. Awesome. Morel is magic. Palate is deep, raw like only Morel can be, with terrific freshness and acidity and a lovely rusticity. St Aubin Rouge are not the most elegant Burgundies but they have so much more than elegance. This wine is long. Really long. It’s a crazy wine that I think with 3-4 more years will really show well. This is like a young version of the 08. — 9 years ago

Strong upfront flavor for a rose, but not overwhelming. More mineral than fruit? — 11 years ago

Cran-plum nose, with very well integrated boysenberry, hints of Pom, pepper, lime, tannin.
Wow! This wine is indeed perfect for a Monday night game of darts. Bullseye on the price point and producer for quality.

Very good northern Rhône. Ripe, savoury, oh so clean and balanced. — 10 years ago

Fantastic Rhone Valley wine. Notes of dark jammy plum, cedar and clove spice on the nose, with strawberry-rubarb, raspberry sorbet, pomegranate, and light minerally feel, medium plus body, high acidity, and a nice and smooth finish. Great with food, and with an hour decant, by itself. — 11 years ago

2012. Aligoté. VERY ORGANIC nose reminds me of Dom. Chandon de briailles SLB. Honeycomb, jasmine, lavender n most importantly SYRUP. Palate is dull tho. Drink. — 12 years ago
