L'appel Du Vide

l'Appel des Sereines Syrah 2021

Full yet flat, not as bouncy as the initial fruit flavors would indicate. This was a pleasant treat, though I'm not as familiar with syrah. — 3 months ago

Truchard

Carneros Pinot Noir 1994

Holey Shinoley Batbrain another amazing save! figured I'd be dumping this one along with its brethren on the shelf into my fine wine vinegar barrel but instead someone slipped in at some point and replaced the contents with a fine premier cru burgundy . . Reminiscent of a Mid90s Charles Dugat Gevrey Clos St Jacques . . and is drinking like an a-point seven year old instead of it's 26 current years of age . . slight and bring out the rim; solid plum and some Asian spice notes, evolved secondary and some tertiary notes, tinge of barnyard that helps a pair with the 36 hours sous vide braised then flash fried elk tongue I am pairing it with . .  perfect balance of fruit and acidity, long long long lingering finish -- what a fabulous surprise . . I would've been delighted had it been that vinetard designated premier crew burgundy at a couple hundred bucks, but to open some thing like this for probably eight dollars and change when I bought it makes the smile slightly broader. Happy I have more 😁🍷 — 3 years ago

Diana Madeline Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Saturday night (2 January 2021) paired with sous vide roast beef. More red fruits than black. Fine tannins and good acid backbone. Delicious. Could last for many more years. Rose could not place it. Not surprising really as not a typical Margaret River heavy hitter. — 3 years ago
