Marvelous. The blend is perfect. Hints of Oak, hints of cream, hints of melon, hints of tangerine, hints of peach and hints of pineapple. Almost seems like a tart Chardonnay. I’m impressed. #organic #ecowine #rhone #costieresdenimes #grenacheblanc #whiterhonefairy — 3 years ago

Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir 2015

Gripping, austere, reductive, mineral-laced and utterly cerebral. That describes the general appeal of this very well-crafted entry level bottling. But it remains expressive, aromatic, lifted and graceful. This vintage has proven to be one of the best gateways into serious and traditional Burgundy wines for many of my customers, earning it a couple of extra points from me. — 5 years ago

Domaine Michel Lafarge

Beaune-Grèves 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005

Unusual bouquet of damp earth that goes right into the back of the nose. Strong and prominent tannins, though not grippy. A very long finish with warming deep cocoa, salt and stone. Very interesting, though even at 12 years old still seems a bit too young and rough on the edges. — 6 years ago

Mephisto Cabernet Franc 2015

God. I loved when this was natural winemaking. Whatever Fred was doing in 2015, it was magic. I remember loving this bottle so much when I had it in 2017, I bought 3 to cellar, even though it was $50 and I didn’t know the producer and it was cab franc grown in sh-t terroir. And now I wish I’d bought a case. This has a vibrancy when you first smell it that’s indescribable. Even though it smells of manure and horse stable in a low key, cool way. When the roses and violets and berries hit, well damn. The fruit is so ripe, but cool. Completely generous but also still young, built like a fortress, and with the most ghostly pleasant tannins. The palate is so clean, sweet, cool and complex. Ethereal and transparent. What a joy! I will struggle to resist but I think i should wait 10 years to open the next of my last two bottles!

Glad I opened this for delectable post 1,000.

Expression d'Orthogneiss Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2020

Vintage 2020 | a Melon de Bourgogne to make you happy. Granny Smith apple and minerals in smell, very good concentration - I even thought for one moment to taste a sweet touch. But the biowine is bone dry 😉. Very well balanced. Great effort. Paired with mussels and a dish with mackerel. | at restaurant Gist in Tilburg — 9 months ago

La Vigne du Louis Arbois Trousseau 2017

12.5%. Very very good. Hint of brett - tart and closed. But boy is this complex. Earthy, Kashmir red pepper, perhaps even a hint of tomatoes 🍅. Orange bitters on the back palate. Like silk much better than many Burgs I had in the last six months. From Max Kogod and I will buy the last bottle and the other cuvée from this producer best Trousseau I had in a long time! — 5 years ago
