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. — 7 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. — 8 years ago

2008 vintage. Lavaut Saint-Jacques. Medium ruby hue. Black fruit profile - black cherry, spicy, coffee roast beans, some fried cranberry. On the palate, medium acidity, medium body, medium tannin - chewy. Medium plus concentration, and medium plus finish. Youthful - fruit is still dominant. Decent. Drink now until 2026. — 9 years ago

A hidden corner of burgundy that produces exciting and different wines. This is a great light fruity and slightly oaked stunner. — 9 years ago

Birthday gift from the owner. Dried cherry, strawberry, lots of spice, floral notes, dried herbs drinking so much younger than its age. — 9 years ago

Red berries with a light cedar/pine aroma. Round and balanced on the palate with a sense of Minervois terroir. A pleasant, reasonably priced wine that's a new favorite! — 9 years ago

9.6

Not a rosé - but rather a vin gris made from Pinot Gris. Exceptional structure with light strawberry and melon flavors meeting a mineral backbone of a very pleasing quality! I could drink this all summer. — 10 years ago

Just loose enough, none of the squinchy quality it exhibited a couple of years ago. Can't wait for more.

Vibrant red cherries from first whiff. Fruit is very much alive while there is a cool earthiness and perhaps even iron. On the palate, dark cherries. Light medium body with some fleshiness. Medium acidity and finish. — 8 years ago

Loads of Syrah spice and bay leaves additions, complementing its developed fruit character where pure, gently dried cherries, figs, Vahlrona chocolate and blackberry jam add complexity to the still promising, built-up finish. — 10 years ago
