Famille Jouffreau

Clos de Gamot Cahors Malbec 2020

ESF
8.9

Took some time to unwind & unfurl: showed copious aromas of black fruits, mocha, smoked meat notes, leading to generous mid-palate w/integrated tannins. There is clearly concentration here, great extraction without being overdone, ABV in check, pretty solid - not elegant or refined now, but has potential. A workingman’s wine. — 10 months ago

Clos Henri

Petit Clos Famille Bourgeois Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Citrus nose. Nice tartness. Definitely not your typical NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Much more balanced and a longer complex finish. Lime and apple with hints of salinity. — 2 years ago

I feel like you always say “not your typical NZ” whenever you really like it. Maybe you just don’t like typical NZ wine?

Château Thivin

Famille Geoffray Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2019

It’s such an interesting wine to me because it shifts so dramatically w age & air: at five years it’s drinking quite nicely, with a much more vibrant fruit profile than I’ve had w other bottles & previous vintages. Tasted blind my buddy thought Languedoc & quite jammy. To my palate not jammy as fruits more small berry & not so open knit. For some reason I’ve never seemed to open these bottles at the right time, save for now, which makes me think 🤔 m a damn poor judge or these bottles are finicky, or both! Quite refined & elegant, fine black currants & blackberries. — 10 months ago

Domaine Weinbach

Famille Faller Vin d'Alsace Riesling 2019

Deep green gold with bright silver highlights. Shy but inviting nose of yellow apple, echoed on the full-bodied palate with added dry clover honey and a anise-tinged cement. Medium acidity. Moderate length finish. Classic, full-bodied Alsatian. Dry but still flavorful. A complement to pretty much any white wine fare, but pork tenderloin just sings! Drink now through 2029. — 3 years ago
