En Chamberlin Vineyard Syrah 2017

Had been holding on to this for the last three years and decided to crack it open. Let it decant for just 30 minutes and did get better with time. Slight “funky” flavor that mellowed to be more cherry, spice and slight earth tones. Unique blend and one I would have again. — 5 months ago

Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy

En Jouise Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2021

Absolutely wonderful Gevrey. Maybe lacking one tiny smidge in complexity and depth, but I’m sure that would come with age. Very dark and somewhat dusty red fruit on the nose and palate, maybe a bit of cassis. Excellent length and freshness. Great acid, and a great pairing with sole meunière and John Dory in butter sauce at Le Duc in Paris. — 5 months ago

Total curveball at the end of the evening. Typical Bordeaux nose. Definitely has some age to it but still standing strong. — 6 months ago

Château de Puligny-Montrachet

En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

What a pleasure to find this on the list of a restaurant in Kyoto and with the exchange, a fantastic value. The bottle was in excellent shape, the color was bright, the aroma was pure lemon custard and toast, pure lemon oil on the palate, great acidity and weight with a long balanced finish. It was perfect with our beautifully prepared French bistro classics with a Japanese flare. Really enjoyable experience. — 7 months ago

Hamilton Russell Vineyards

Hemel-En-Aarde Valley Pinot Noir

This is a BIG Pinot. Big, fruit dominated nose, with a little herbal spice on the back end, with hints of black olive and rose permeating throughout. Big palate and body, with an herbal, hay or thyme palate, tannic, with a salinity that’s prominent, with black olive, some tar, and even a smokiness hitting the end, with dark cherry, plum, and a peppery spice showing up loud on the palate. Really good entry to South African Pinot. — 9 months ago

Olivier Horiot

En Valingrain Rosé des Riceys 2015

Great discovery from another under the radar appellation: Les Riceys, a commune in the Côte des Bar, about 2 hours south of Reims, almost bordering Burgundy. Savory, not sparkling Rosé made with Pinot Noir from a single vineyard on chalky soils, farmed biodynamically. Carbonic maceration. Aged in barrels for 3 years. Pale ruby color with orange hues. Lively, complex nose with aromas of strawberries, smoky notes. Light-bodied, mineral, saline, great texture. Reminiscent of Poulsard — 10 months ago
