What an amazing wine. Super nose that jumps out at ya. Big cherry. Big big fucking cherry. Spices, plum, semi sweet cocoa, such aromas. Totally spellbinding. Also a sense of gamey, meaty and smokey aromas add complexity. Awesome. Palate is vibrant, deep and so juicy, with amazing fruit and terrific acid and structure. What concentration! This has tannins that are soft but ever present, but so velvety. So pure and dazzlingly fresh. Really long finish that takes over the palate. The purity of this is incredible. What a mouthfeel as well. 100% Gamay in Amphorae. — 8 years ago

Gamay in amphorae? Craziness. You being you, do you know the volume of those things? I'm figuring you do know...because that would be one aspect of being Fassy.

@Severn Goodwin the maths I’m not good at. Let me check. Might have added it to today’s offer.

Brewery Ommegang

Abbey Ale Dubbel Ale

A little disjoint compared to when I've had this before - uneven on the palate with a clipped finish. If this were a wine I'd call it bottle shock - but still a good beer to start off a return visit to my Alma Mater, Bucknell University! — 9 years ago

Corte Magna

Puglia Sangiovese Negroamaro

Fresh forest floor aroma. Flavor is strong in minerality, rasp/black-berry, light tannins. Easy, fun but not boring. Light texture but warming — 9 years ago

Comte Armand

Clos des Epeneaux Monopole Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1999

My names Mater without the To - one of best examples I've ever tasted of any vintage of this wine but still seems like a rusty old tow truck - not worth it for me — 10 years ago

Magna Vides

Ribera del Duero Tempranillo

Elegant Tempranillo-based blend (I believe it includes some Albillo) from 100+ year-old biodynamically farmed vineyards in La Aguilera, one of the most desirable areas within the Ribera del Duero appellation. Aged in used French oak barrels for 14 months. Smooth, balanced, balsamic notes — 6 years ago
