Happy New Year! First wine of 2021. Very fruit forward aromas of apple and citrus along with plenty of mineral notes. Same fruits on the pallet with hints of melon and fresh herbs. Gripping acidity and creamy finish. Quite refreshing and elegant. — 5 years ago

Easily the best wine of the night. Amazing. Bold, tar, tobacco, vanilla, crazy finish and a sated nose. Yum. Still some more life ahead, decant heavily. — 8 years ago

One of my last bottles in 2017 but what a great wine this is !!! Incredible in fruit, silky in the mouth and seems to last forever in aftertaste. A really beautiful “gateway to heaven”... — 8 years ago

Lord what a wine. Paired with braised bear of all dishes; was simply a divine treat from start to finish. Started strong and tapered off with such elegant firmness. A wine to remember. — 9 years ago

Notes are cumbersome, so no notes today but plus side, scores are honest and I should be a professional reviewer, LOL. (This wine was crazy, one of the best Gamay I've had...)

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this final afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Michael Tilson Thomas is leading IVES (Psalm 90) and BEETHOVEN (Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Opus 125).

After a two-year pause, we arrive again to the day when Beethoven concludes on these hallowed grounds. The 9th by Beethoven is always bittersweet for us, as it marks the end of the official Symphony and Pops season for the BSO at their Summer home. It is a wonderful and singularly emotive piece moved with the full force of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus (110+) conveying the message of a divine spark of joy that makes all people one. The music and the day almost bring me to tears on an annual basis...

Tasted blind...initially very tannic but settled down after a few minutes (or my palate was subdued into compliance). Elegant notes of dark, tart red fruit and earthy spices. Black pepper and smoke complimented the finish, which was tart but appropriate and enjoyable. I was surprised on the age but in hindsight this was a good thing, as the tannin has mellowed enough to allow for the fruit to really come through. Overall a very well done wine. Nice job Jean-Luc! — 6 years ago

Because I needed something to drink while binging on wine documentaries. This is the new Divine Reserve, # 17 or DR17. It's a Baltic Porter that will make you weak in the knees. You'll swoon over the creamy chocolate malted espresso. — 9 years ago
