Ellis Wines

Domaine Fabien Coche

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2015

Nose has lightly toasted brioche, recently washed lemon, lemon pith, dry limestone, pineapple core and yellow apple peel.

Palate has lime pith, squeeze of lemon juice, slight waxy notes, pulverized limestone and lingering ripe tropical fruits.

Medium finish, feeling like the concentration is coming up short, still enjoyable. 90m decant, we'll see how it evolves over the evening.

(Soured 100% from Meursault, seven separate vineyard plots.)

*R.I.P. Ellis Marsalis, "Bucky" Pizzarelli, Manu Dibango, Bill Withers, Kenny Rogers and Joseph Shabalala. It's been a tough few weeks of losses in the music business. Stay Safe out there everyone.

It's sitting on our porch, 55°F out there, so decent service/decant temperature.

Was your source Garagiste? My bottles have been hit or miss (mostly miss) with a weird orange juice concentrate thing (heat damaged?)

@Aravind Asok No, one of my local retailers. Stop storing all your bottles on top of the range hood!😝

Groenekloof Shiraz 2013

Gott. Balanserat. Inte tanniner.
Vi drack det samtidigt som chilenska Montes cabernet sauvignon.
Detta var mjukare och godare.

Sincerely Shiraz 2014

Vino de capa media, en nariz potente y alcohol, demasiado diría yo. Frutas rojas y cereza. Buena entrada en boca, potente y golosa, el final largo con alcohol. — 10 years ago

Delicious acidic green apple flavored Chardonnay. Lighter in color and flavor then the Chard I'm use to. Drinks beautifully! — 5 years ago

Boundary Breaks Vineyard

Bubbly No. 356 Dry Riesling 2017

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Wynton Marsalis Quintet, with very special guest performance by the Ellis Marsalis Quintet. A very exciting show, this will be the second time we've seen father (Ellis) and son (Wynton) together on these grounds.

A carbonated FLX Riesling, just perfect for today, great style, wish more producers would take this chance and do something fun like this with their wine. Please see my prior notes, still applicable.

24hr Update: Bubbles on the decline, but more of a fresh green apple-y Riesling today, not disappointed at all. 👍

For the condition it was in, this was incredible. 37yrs young! Plenty of underripe red fruit still here, with a touch of black fruit. Medicinal and herbal instead of leather and earthy. Still retained some impressive acidity. Rhubarb and clove, with old cherry pipe tobacco. A beautiful wine that is still holding on.
