Never would have guessed a Bourgogne if tasted blind. Complex weighty nose of ripe red fruits and earthy notes and autumn leaves though palate a bit more acidic than expected. That profile carried through to finish. 16 years and still drinking well. Great with Amahs ribs — 4 years ago

Southern Rhône valley (Gigondas and Vaucluse) so likely mainly Grenache rather than Syrah in blend. I liked, velvety and fruity but not too much. Mineral notes too. Moderate long finish with minimal tannins. For W just so so. From Haskell’s box. — 8 months ago

This is an excellent modern-day entry level Cabernet Franc. Dazzlingly simple, yet awash with refreshing weight, dark fruit, Chinese spices, and a subtle dollop of black/green tea. If you are looking for something less obvious go back to red Burgundy. (This red straddles old world structure with new world gloss. I fear gloss will eventually win out. But for now...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾) — 6 years ago
Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 6 months ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our Pops conductor Keith Lockhart is leading a live-to-picture performance of Star Wars: A New Hope, a showing of the classic 1977 film, with the Orchestra performing Mr. Williams’ iconic score.
For live-to-picture productions, the orchestra performs the entire movie score in real time as the film unspools. (Vocals, dialogue and effects are isolated from the original music track.)
Generally we get to hear Star Wars scores a couple times per season here at Tanglewood, but tonight we get a chance to hear them with the backdrop of the movie (Episode IV) that launched a franchise, to say the least!
I celebrated another full trip around the sun, since my coming into this world, earlier this week. Tonight my wife, some dear friends and me will be enjoying some enticing wines along with our movie night. So notes...maybe, but I'll try!

Textbook Loire CF in a perfect spot. Vibrant raspberry and purple flowers, graphite, bell pepper, umami elements. Finessed and balanced. — 5 months ago
