Milo La cuvée des P'tits Patrons Mâcon Péronne Vieilles Vignes Chardonnay 2020

Well, Delectable (predictably) ate the notes I submitted while they tried to identify this, so these are memory notes. The nose was rich and complex, with ripe fruit and wet clay earthiness. Full-flavored, ripe and minerally in the mouth. Great length for a Maconnais. Acids are medium, but the minerality adds some freshness. Very impressive. — a year ago

Olivier Lafont

Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2015

Gérald Lafont and Baptiste Olivier are known throughout France as two of the Rhône Valley's top oenologists. A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, dark fruit and flinty aromas. On the palate blackberry and cranberry flavors with floral spice tones wrapped in smooth tannins. Medium+ finish ending with s bright mineral character. Nice. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

This is the Syrah @Delectable Wine - this had it all but the 14.5% showed and never went away. — 7 months ago

Volnay Pinot Noir 1976

Another nice ‘70s Burgundy, blind. Pinned this to a ‘76 Volnay so ended the evening pretty well! Had completely forgotten that I had a few of these which made it even more satisfying. Really nice bottle, with an almost pencil-like nose with dense gamey notes, red cherries, and earthy rosepetals. Good length. — 6 years ago
