Odd Bins

Rockburn

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012

2012 - outstanding aromas of curry spice and dark berry fruit, really seductive. Odd then that the palate doesn't quite follow through, there's plenty of fruit but it's a little lean and the strong jasmine tea notes in the tannins are just out of balance. Could be indicative of the 2012 vintage, even the Akarua from that year was not mind blowing. Still a very fine effort, I could happily sit sniffing away at the glass for hours. $47.95 at LCBO — 10 years ago

Moutard Pere et Fils

Rosé de Cuvaison Brut Champagne

Pink grapefruit regnier cherry rose petal action reminiscent of a Barolo in an odd way. Both flavors revisit on the palate, with a lemon drop center that turns white strawberry and golden apple. — 12 years ago

Domaine Richou

Chauvigné Anjou Chenin Blanc 2012

Fleeting n the palate. Good finish. Could be in an odd place. More cerebral than pleasurable. — 12 years ago

MacRostie Winery & Vineyards

Wildcat Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay 2009

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

Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Castello Vicchiomaggio

Ripa della Mandorle 1996

Seemed maybe a bit beyond its day... had a bit of an odd aroma. But still good and interesting! ... day 2: wow, much nicer. Changed my rating. Opening up recommended! — 12 years ago
