昨日のお誕生日ワイン。鴨に合わせてガメイ種。ワイン見聞録福袋のひとつで市中価格は税別4900円とのこと。ほんとはもっと果実味が豊からしいのだが、夏場のヒートショックにやられたのかそれほどでもなかったのが残念。

8.29.25 at Havana in Bar Harbor — 10 months ago
Intoxicating aromatics. Oak presence is well felt - turns out it’s 100% new - but there’s also a raft of florals, think roses and violets along with ripe dark cherry and plum. Really composed in the palate with seemless acidity & oak tannin just making itself known pulling in at the back. Impressive wine, would be decisive though due to heavy handed oak. — 7 years ago
Easy drinking, delicious. I could drink this every day. — 8 years ago
Pale to mid Ruby. A sooty earthy savoury red fruited note with raspberry and new leather. The palate is reserved yet with M+ intensity. Delicate yet assertive. Still very fresh for its age. Elegant with enough palate weight to make it totally enjoyable. Benjamin Leroux was the winemaker who has gone on to more accolades with his own label. Jasper Morris thought that this was the best wine made by Benjamin Leroux during his 14 year tenure at Domaine du Comte Armand. Would go on for several more years if you were lucky enough to be holding some. Pommard is another commune which has no Grand Crus but this must be one of the best Premier Crus. I concur with Jasper Morris MW when he had a bottle of this very wine with friends when he said “we were very sad to finish the bottle “. My son Hugh bought this wine for me from Sotheby’s NY in December 2013 and brought it home in his luggage for Christmas that year and I am so glad he did. This is one of the 1001 Wines. — 4 months ago

(En Magnum)…One to live forever, but with proper aeration it’s plenty giving, perfumed and seductive with a powerful, vibrant and structured palate with killer Grand Cru density and stunning length that seemingly never dissipates. For the long haul! — 7 months ago
Minerally and acidic. Citrus. Bitterness. Heritiers Du Comte Lafon Mâcon Milly Lamartine 23 @5478, Toscan, 250927 — 9 months ago
Pop and pour. Notes from 4 hrs open. On the nose: freshly cut honeysuckle, then loads of flowers, mint, soft honey and wet stone. On the palate: excellent acidity, wet stone, ginger, medicinal herbs, fantastic density. Better than my last btl...definitely one of my condrieu standards. Yum! — 5 years ago
Slow oxed for 2 hours. Excellent nose! Seems a bit extracted and big though — 5 months ago
Initially tannic but this is full bodied and lush as it opened up — 5 months ago
Clear, pale ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary aromas of bananas, tart cherries, and violets; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, light body, and pronounced primary flavors of pomegranates, strawberry jolly ranchers, and clay pots with a medium finish. This wine is exactly what it should be. Cheap and cheerful. Overall, I rate this wine as good. — 6 months ago
Pure and lifted. Black cherry fruit and underbrush. Pretty and starting to drink well. — 7 months ago
Light orange in color.
Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, strawberries, currants, lemons, peaches, spices, sea salt and light earth.
Tangy finish with grapefruits and limes.
This is a young Rosé from Bandol. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant with a soft mouthfeel.
Nicely balanced and already showing nice complexity.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of 70% Mourvedre and 30% Cinsault from 45 year old vines.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Spicy, light, fresh yet with quite some character. Fresh red fruit (strawberries & cherries) with a spice undercore.
On the palate this is light yet with presence and a nice tannic frame. I wasn’t expecting this fragility, but it’s really nice. And despite the lightness this has presence and character.
A lovely wine! — 9 months ago

Wanted to drink this after listening to Dominique’s IDTT interview. Found the best nationally priced bottle in Pasadena and it showed really nicely, particularly after being open for something like 4 hours. I like his winemaking approach here, which doesn’t seem to be about elevating it beyond its provenance. It’s a delicious, mineral wine that would crush with shellfish and was lovely in the afternoon along with The Trip to Spain. — 8 years ago
