Saint-Joseph Syrah 2013

Got into a northern Rhone last night. Dark purple. Youthful. Decanted for 2 hours to dissipate some of the heat from the alcohol. It opened up much better than the last bottle. It has a nice balance of peppery spice and blueberry/bramble. It also had some mint and a savoury hoisin side to it, although it notably lacked any hint of liquorice. I’m okay with that as that really isn’t my draw. It has a very well defined structure but tannins are not grippy; just pleasantly present. Medium plus acidity, medium alcohol, medium tannin. A perfect accompaniment to our night by the fire. Could easily last and suggest to most palates that they wait another 5-10+. Probably best with food. — 5 years ago

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2013

Low yields in Northern Rhône 2013, but the quality of the fruit is prevalent here. Structured and well-integrated fine grained tannins at the five year mark. The nose explodes out of the glass with finesse and doused complexities. Definitive Syrah nuances of black raspberries, black plums, black olives, fresh cut violets, cracked black pepper, Indian spices, grilled and smoked meats, and stone dust. Light weight but packs a continuous release of flavors. Nose and palate changes from fruit to floral to spicy to meaty. As you move to different areas and rooms the wine changes. The more air it gets, the more meat starts hanging out. Complex indeed for a $20 bottle. Great showing. — 6 years ago

Nicolas Vieilles Vignes de Grenache Noir 2009

Although it might be past its prime this Grenache has aged wonderfully. Aromas of dried strawberries with lavender honey and just a titch of dried leaves lead into a more juicy pallate reminiscent of raspberry sauce. Seemed a fitting pairing for viewing the Downton Abbey finale. ($16) [4/26/17] — 7 years ago

Mauvais Temps de l'Aveyron Red Blend

Liked this a lot! Unclear what grapes but it had a smoky - peppery vibe, like petit Syrah. Super light and easy to drink too and paired well with a pork pasta and dry aged steak at Russ and daughters for Christy’s Bach. $100 at the resto — 9 months ago

Prémices Jasnières Chenin Blanc 2009

If there is a better match in this world for lobster than aged Chenin, I haven’t found it yet. This off-dry wine has tremendous pretty florals as it opens. Some nice minerals and just enough acid to keep it interesting. — 2 years ago

Santenots Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Belle surprise que ce vin. Très axée sur la cerise et des épices comme le poivre qui amènent même la famille à croire qu’on pourrait être en Cote-Rotie. Je ne l’étais pas mais je comprends les commentaires... c’est assurément plus facile quand on a vu l’étiquette ! Une bouteille très agréable d’un producteur loin de la spéculation — 6 years ago

Millésimé Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2006

Erityistä ajankohtaa odottanut samppanja, joka korkattiin korona-aikana synttärikuplivana. Mausta löysin omenaa, paahteisuutta, pähkinäisyyttä ja mineraalisuutta. Suutuntuma oli jopa kermaisen oloinen ja kuplat lempeät. Hyvä samppanja tämä! — 3 years ago

I am finding that the ‘02 and ‘03 burgundies are drinking really well right now. Glad to know ‘00 is doing the same.

Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay 2014

Nice flinty reductive properties that envelops into a rich minerality. Not lacking in fruit with some cantaloupe and lemon rind. Overall a great expression of Côte d'Or as a white wine with the complexity and familiar body of a red. — 7 years ago

Les Gaudichots Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2007

Fresh, slightly green (stems?), primary. Warm fermentation? Quite lean on the palate. A bit more fruit would help. Very clear but a bit lacking in beauty or lushness. — 8 years ago
