A rich Gevry-Chambertin from Lucien Boillot. I've had a lot of Pierre's brother, Louis (married to a true Mistress of Wine, Ghislaine Barthod), but this is the first of my Lucien Boillot's made by Pierre. I think I like the quality and price:quality a bit more than the Louis Boillot (his prices have gone up since he left the Rosenthal stable). Fragrant, dark cherry, cranberry, earth, and some leather and mushroom on the nose and palate. Clean, deep red color. — 8 years ago

2nd bottle of this same night. Great but not nearly as good as the first bottle. Burgundy is so fickle — 8 years ago

A very big wine in all respects. A certain amount of earthiness with plum on nose with a less than perfect coarseness and astringency. From these 100+ year old vines deserves to be better than this. Chose this wine tonight as we are travelling to the Hunter Valley tomorrow for the Annual Launch on Saturday of the latest vintage of Maurice OShea. The 2014 is one of the greatest vintages in the fickle Hunter Valley for decades. 99 points from Halliday and a potential 50 year wine. Edited note 2 days later - Halliday spoke at the launch and said it was a potential 100 year old wine.!! — 9 years ago

If I had one sentence to describe this wine, it is this: "Ca' Togni is the definition of desire." The vintage was a 2006, and let me tell ya, have the years been great to this mistress! Showing a deep brick red color, and a wine still showing all its wonderful fruits, with an expected maturity thrusting forth delightful complexity, this wine will make you love Black Hamburg! (Black Muscat) On the nose, notes of dried figs, dried rose petals, old leather, strawberry-rubarb jam, followed by a pallet of racy dark maraschino cherries, brown spices, and a vanilla finish. Phillip Togni is a hell of a wine maker out of Spring Mountain! I highly recommend trying one of these, even if it is $50, it was most certainly worth it! On top of that, it is 1 of only three wines he crafts, still in his 80's, still the king of the mountain. — 9 years ago

White burgundy is fickle but when in the right mood it is fantastic. This was in a good mood indeed. — 8 years ago

89 pts A wise man once said, Margaux is a beautiful mistress. True she is mystical, like a dream she is just out of reach and so alluring and this is insane value. A very good Margaux vintage.

Entering its window now, the nose is med and very alluring, earthy black fruit, cedar and wet tea bags, toffee whiffs, it needs focus and is pure pleasure to concentrate on every step.
The palate is dark fruit, pencil lead with more tea leaves, good complexity, excellent intensity and a finish which is broad, long and elegant integrated tannin.

Very much enjoyed. — 8 years ago

Regardless of how much I thought I knew about a Roussane blend, this may very well be described as Chardonnay's less fickle and more structured and defined big brother. True, this is a blend, yet tastes like a buttery, bold and structured Chardonnay. White flowers, yellow tree fruits and malo, oak. — 9 years ago

This vintage and style combine to spell RESTRAINED. Floral and mineral notes are interwoven with tight (almost austere) fruit notes. Far more Burgundian than I remember. Of course, his French chards are this style too. Over all, a little disappointed but appreciating the finesse in a fickle vintage. — 8 years ago

@Robert Takahashi thanks to my brother in-law for bringing this gem!
He decanted overnight and we poured it today. Absolutely beautiful legs on this mistress. Thin and long! The nose is spectacular as well. Oak immediately grabs your attention. Blackberry, & licorice follows. The tannins are there and to be expected from such a young Dunn but they soon fade away as your thoughts lead the way to the next sip of enjoyment. Definitely a big boy!! Thank goodness I have my big boy pants on right now!!!! 😜👍🍷🍷👍😜 — 9 years ago

The Alterra label is produced under the umbrella of the Alder Fels estate (though it may be owned by the Adams Wine Group). While the estate resides in Sonoma, the Alterra label (and several others) resides in Santa Rosa. That's about all I could find on the producer. So, Pinot Noir, that fickle little grape, chiefly known from Burgundy - it has found a permanent home on the west coast of the US. One of my favorite varietals! ~$14 | #pinotnoir #arroyoseco

On the eyes: Bright, rusty red, orange rim, light stain, med tears, no gas/floc.

On the nose: Chalky cherry rose, and vanilla and spice. Med alcohol.

On the tongue: med tannin, med acid, med alcohol, med body, juicy. Jammy strawberry-cherry ending in a warm clove and baking spices mineralty.
