Drinking the 2022 in 2025. Thin legs. Very light color. Nose has hints of citrus and matchsticks. Light and smooth with very few tannins and little aftertaste. Notes of citrus and oaks. — 9 months ago
Soft and pretty. Delicate limestone and cool floral notes. A hint of salinity. Poised and balanced. Delicious — a year ago

This bottle was opened sometime earlier in the evening before a glass was handed to me. Pacalet’s 2018 Cornas pours, a deep ruby purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with wild notes of ripe and tart black and red fruits: mixed brambles, freshly cracked black pepper, bacon fat, lavender, dried green herbs and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Considering Philippe is Burgundian, I think he does a great job with Cornas; certainly showing a sense of place with the feral nature of Serine. Drink now through 2038. — 6 months ago

Drank with Duncan with Roast Lamb in Deal — 9 months ago
Excellent! It took very little time to breathe which was unexpected for a 2011. We will be buying more of this if we can find it. — 2 years ago

One of my favorite French pinots — 6 years ago
Jura, Slight bubble, light, tasty — 7 years ago
Longtime favorite and I snap up this foxy number whenever I see it. Crunchy strawberry and herbs, a bit of animal and yeast at the end but not too much to compromise the freshness. I don’t think this ages and should be drunk up but that doesn’t make it any less special — a year ago
Cranberry, kinda funky, fun — 6 years ago

Medium gorgeous rosé color and intense aromas of red apple, cranberry, violet, raspberry, lemon, bread dough and pastry. This has more class and while not delicate it has more finesse than the average NV rose. On the palate, crisp acidity well-balanced with the fruit and a long finish. — 6 months ago
