Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2023 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of tart and ripe, citrus and tropical, fruit: grapefruit, passionfruit, white and yellow flowers, alfalfa, jalapeño pepper, and flinty minerals . On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now. — 5 months ago

Cuvée Balthazar Alsace Pinot Blanc 2022

Pale lemon in color.

Aromatic nose of pears, apples, citrus, minerals, light honey and herbs.

Medium plus in body and refreshing, with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with apples, citrus, light apricots, spices, earth, light vegetables and sea salt.

This is a very tasty Pinot Blanc from Alsace. Nicely balanced and easy drinking right out of the bottle. Elegant and fruit forward.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. I paired it with a grilled red snapper.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$18.

Les Pruliers Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Nez et bouche épicé, très beau fruit aussi, bel équilibre en bouche, délicieux, des tannins encore bien présents avec une longue finale fort agréable mais ayant une touche asséchante. Très fidèle à l’appellation. 92-93

Blind tasting lunch 2009 theme. Nose and palate with gorgeous spices, nice balance, delicious and pure flavors with grippy tannins in this long but slightly rustic finish, very terroir like.

Coteaux Cornas Syrah 2016

Blackcurrant and leather notes. Very savoury on the palate - a little disappointing to be honest. See previous Delectable note. I haven’t had a lot of experience with Cornas and was looking forward to this because of its stellar reputation. I have a reasonable collection of Clape Cornas in my cellar which are not ready to drink yet. To be honest this was a bit underwhelming compared to many stellar Shiraz we are lucky enough to have in Australia. Hopefully the Clape, the Rostaing and the Jamet with time in my cellar will be impressive. — 6 months ago

I love Cornas but generally am not a huge fan of this house.

Réserve Alsace Gewürztraminer 2023

Intensely aromatic Alsatian Grwurtz. Medium golden color. Expessive honeysuckle, dried rose petals, dried lavender, sweet spices and tropical fruits on the nose. The complex palate features Asian melon, guava and apricot fruit along with notes of those sweet spices and honey. A bit of mineral on the long and luxurious finish. Slightly oily texture. Medium body and acidity. Quite harmonious. — 9 months ago

Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir 2021

A bit pricey, yet what is not in Burgundy. Austere at first, then open to strawberry candy, a hint of farm, elegant, fine acid, wet leaves, young. — a year ago

Chateauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2007

This was fun. The cork was blown, and I ran the wine through some gauze 😝 I know the store didn't cellar this very well, so it was a crap shoot. The wine was in fantastic shape and still in its adolescence.

Wowza this is good. 80% Roussanne, and it shows. I love that grape. Such richness, and though the acidity is low, there’s great mineral tension here. So rich and enveloping. — 9 months ago
