On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Moritz Gnann is leading WAGNER (Siegfried Idyll), MOZART (Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat) with the outstanding Paul Lewis on piano and SCHUMANN (Symphony No. 3, Rhenish).

Peach juice, Lemon zest, wow Lemon oil like I've never tasted before, white flowers crushed in a limestone mortar with a granite pestle, aromas of late Spring rain on new flowers growing in the midst of a granite scree slope whilst someone had been running around squeezing Lemons beforehand, crazy. Looking forward to seeing how this develops in the coming days, too interesting to finish tonight.

24hr Update: Very tropical fruit-ish on the nose, still with lemon, lemon, lemon. The lemon oil notes have backed down on the palate. My wife thinks it's limes, it's definitely lemons, she's crazy.

48hr Update: Acidity and lemon oil characteristics are beginning to subside, probably 30% less than day one, just a stellar bottle! — 8 years ago

Immediately the chalkiness envelops your palette the it begins to rain with honeysuckle apricot and yellow fruit balanced with acidity. It is sublime. — 10 years ago

Frankly: I am surprised at how dynamic and Mâcon this is at 6+ years! It was said and chirpy as only wines with dry extract can be. Delicious with roasted potato leek soup -especially in this odd season between an Indian Summer and that penetrating November rain. Great tension here. — 11 years ago

2012. Super expressive tonight, sipping on the front stoop after a summer rain, with the season's last strawberries. So much white peach and pear, balanced with lovely stony minerality. — 11 years ago

Fantastic wine at a budget price. $15 at my local shop. Nose of black pepper, spice, ripe cherry, and an earthiness from fresh rain. Medium-low acidity with medium tannins create a pleasant mouth feel. — 8 years ago

A refreshing champagne for this sunny day. Nice to have a reprieve from the rain! On the nose, floral, honey dew, cantaloupe, peach, and Lear. On the palate, good acidity, lemon, Granny Smith Apple, pear, and orange zest. — 9 years ago

Not the greatest of Bordeaux vintages (I remember a lot of rain!) but the great Chateaux made less and made it well. 21 years on, this wine has all the hallmarks of the greatest Clarets. Incredible concentration despite a moderate 12.5% alc. and incredible youth & fresh activist too. A rare joy. — 11 years ago

A deluge of rain just prior to harvest made for a challenging vintage in 2013, a "winemaker's vintage" in the Willamette Valley, but there are bright spots, wines with nuance and freshness. Willamette Valley Vineyards is one such wine, worthy of consideration, with classic raspberry and Rainier cherry notes, trail dust, and mahogany wood. On the palate, tart cranberries and pomander ball lead into a finish of moderate length, inlaid with minerality and tinged with spice. 13.4% ABV | Sample — 11 years ago
