Les Talmettes Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2007

In a perfect place. Always love Bize and with some nice age this is great. Excellent pick from the somm at Daniel. Beautifully aromatic with wonderful fruit. Just a slight hint of tannin, but still good lifting acid on the finish. Great pairing with both a skin-on black bass as well as a nice strip loin. Long finish. — 5 years ago

Great wine, even in “off” vintage. Bize was the producer that got me hooked on red burg...

Nice @Michael Greene. I was a bit skeptical of the 07 (even if it was a great year for graduating). But the somm talked me into it and she was absolutely right.

Les Champlains Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2009

Really spicy, sharp, but nutty too. Excellent

The acid is really strong, green apple, but has this amazing rich nutty thing going on as well. Really great. Enjoyed at mo's last kings formal as an undergraduate

Notes of plum, earth, soy sauce. I thought tannins were still fairly pronounced but not rough. Lovely pairing with our smoked abalone and black cod….. — 3 years ago

Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese Blend 2009

Olga Tuttle
9.9

Sicilian wine from the base of Mount Etna. 95% Nerello Mascalese, 5% Nerello Cappuccio. Soft but chalky, earthy, more low tones, herbaceous but not too much. Medium body, slight rhubarb, but again- not in the way wines can be when they are too young to drink. Really lovely wine. Apparently, the winery is no longer making wine due to lack of interest from the family heirs. — 12 years ago

As I understand it, their vineyard's been purchased by Marco de Grazia from the excellent Etna label Tenuta Della Terre Nere-- so the grapes are in good hands! Mmm, Nerello Mascalese!
