2009. This has aged into a perfect dark cherry, smoky tea monster with a slightly more supple texture than in its youth and the same feral earth notes I adore from this producer. I agree with recent CT tasters: this is ready to go now. Not a lot to gain by waiting. Reminds me of Chambolle/Volnay. Even Echezeaux, really. All hail Sven and Florian! Rien sans peine, indeed. It was worth it! — 8 years ago

What a luck !
- A magnum Hermitage La Chapelle 1975 from Paul Jaboulet Aîné.
Bottle opened 24 hours before drink.
The wine is brown and trouble.
A big density, the bouquet offer lot of spicies, cinnamon, dried grappe, old cherry in alcool, date fruit.
The palate :
Full of spicies, deep. Again the cinnamon followed by date fruit and dried grappes, smooth and elegant, a long and fresh finish on the ground aromas like mushroom an old and luxury wood.
Not so old ! A great wine. Loved it.
Around 1200 - 1700 €
- Chance incroyable !
Degustation autour de ce magnum de 1975. Rare. Bouteille ouverte 24h à l'avance.
Sous sa robe usée, trouble et marron, ce vin cache une ceritable fraîcheur.
Son bouquet s'ouvre sur les épices, cannelle, fruits secs, raisins secs, cerise à l’eau de vie et dattes fraîches d'Iran.
Un grand bol de fruits secs, d'épices, de dattes, beaucoup de matière et de tendresse. Un style tout en élégance.
Une longue finale sur des notes tertiaires de mousse, champignon, et de vieux cèdre.
Très beau. J'ai beaucoup aimé.
Attention, le goût de vieux vins est toujours particulier !
Autour de 1200 - 1700 €.
À bientôt.

Vin de garage (échec garanti pour Delectable) : cuvée "PMG" (Pour Ma Gueule). Un peu patiné. — 12 years ago
Incredible value. Remembering huichica '17, drank this during allah las's set with Max florian. Subtle sweetness and tannins not overpowering. Nice spice rack flavors, which drown out any specific fruit — 8 years ago

Light straw gold, light and long bubbles. Grapefruit rind, lemon rind, ripe pear, calcium, chalk on the nose. Getting a salinity on the nose. Very citrusy, lightly floral, super lovely, medium plus acidity, alcohol low, super fun, lighthearted, exciting wine. — 7 years ago

New wine for me. Not a typical sauv Blanc by any means. Nice layers that were unexpected. Fruit and finish. Nice. Scribner in hunter. Great addition to Catskills scene! — 8 years ago
Final night in Rome- a 2007 amarone that expresses all the qualities I love at a price, 80 euros at a Michelin star restaurant that would be unheard of in the USA. God I love Rome. — 9 years ago

Fruity malty aromas with lemon and apple accents. Just off dry. Mildly oily and nice concentration. Not much distinction. — 7 years ago
