Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

Takes its name from the free-spirited gentleman named Bruscone who lived in the woods of the Barbi Estate. Ruby with bright aromas of red berry fruits and wild flower notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors, well balanced with avidity & fine tannins. Lingering finish ending with earthy tones. Nice value. — 8 years ago

Classic Rioja Alta, blackberry, cassis cherry, a hint of Spanish saffron with rich oak woods in the background. Memorable! — 9 years ago

Domaine Jean Chartron established in 1859 owns 13 hectares of vineyards - 16 appellations - 9 of which being in Puligny-Montrachet. The soil is a mixture of clay siliceous sand and lime components. 40 years the average age of the vines. Hand harvesting, neither herbicides, nor chemical pesticides are used in the vineyards. Behind the alchemical balance of the wine aging (élevage) in the woods, at the source of the new oak barrels there's always Allier and Vosges.
Even though 2011 in Burgundy's one of the most premature vintage in 300 years, I must admit that this bottle of the monopole Clos de la Pucelle was astonishingly crisp, persisten texture, a solid core of broom in bloom blowing up in your mouth, a shiny flow of mineral essence. Sourness and honey they were so well blended to spread the unity of opposites all over the go-between glass among you the others around and the wine.. though one bottle was a too much little thing! http://www.bourgogne-chartron.com/ — 10 years ago

Lingonberries, strawberries, leather and wooden tones. Impressive clarity of flavour. Like an autumn day in the woods bottled for my enjoyment. — 10 years ago

Crazy. Lime and tequila on one side, reduced bourbon and rich red ale on the other. Like that cat with peanut-butter bread on its back. Shit be cray. We both loved it. — 10 years ago

Deep amber color. Aromas of birch bark, vanilla, old linens, and mahogany. It smells like autumn leaves in the deep woods after rain, and it tastes like wood, too—birch and pecan, walnut, sarsaparilla. There's roundness at the front and sharpness at the back, and the finish is bitter nut. Pour straight over ice or add tonic and a splash of white port. 16% abv | $28 (New Hampshire) — 12 years ago

On the nose, this is a walk in the woods - all violets, sun-baked brambles, and sweet earthiness. And from there, to the kitchen - grilled red bell pepper, plum sauce, cherry, and smoked black tea. Lean, fresh, and compelling. — 8 years ago

Wow! Full bodied and very drinkable Aussie Shiraz. Includes 5% Mataro. Lots of fruit, pepper, leather and chocolate. Very approachable now but should stay in form for another 5-7 years. Nice bottle for $19.

Earthy/woodsy spice, dried red fruit, and a bit of animal musk on the nose. Smell reminds me of autumn in the woods. Much brighter fruit on the palate. Tart cranberry, appleskin, raspberry. Hint of clove on the finish. This is exactly what i was hoping it would be — 10 years ago

At the winery with Arnie ( a story in itself)nothing better than sitting on Markkos deck in the woods drinking this Chard on a summer day. Melon, vanilla, creamy that has a touch of butter. As Arnie says " gladden thy heart" — 8 years ago

Like the cool perfect night after a day hiking in the woods, with a fire roaring and dinner on the fire. Rustic, delicious, mushroomy with a very smooth finish. — 9 years ago

Little bright on its own but when you wash down some West coast hogs with this East coast Savvy you get a match made in heaven (if it exists...I highly doubt it). — 10 years ago

Classic Margaret River at a great price. Tropical and light herbaceous flavours. Elegant in its early life, well balanced and terrific drinking. Bottled not long ago so it's super fresh. — 11 years ago
