Roncaglie Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2014

Took a while to open up, but when it did, this light wine has teeth-staining tannins, pretty lavender accents and a bitter cherry finish that carries on forever. Definitely drinkable now but this wine is so young, could age for a decade before truly balancing out. — 7 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2012

Pretty sure I called this wine a "humbling experience" late last night after too much wine and mezcal. Jamet, Cayuse, the old Reynvaan wines, they've got this thing...this crazy balance of milky funk and mouthwatering acidity. Really doesn't get any better, I guess you could age these but how could it get better? — 9 years ago

Brut Rosé Champagne 2002

Very pretty light pink. Strawberry nose, very delicate. A hint of anise then a very pure and focused palate. Great clarity and fine acidity. Not revealing much on the early palate but great quality fruit and long. After a few hours it's settled but still very young. Decades ahead. — 9 years ago

Domaine Laurent & Karen Boussey

Volnay Pinot Noir 2017

Man I love this wine. Duchovney said “god hates us all”. Which may be true. But some days he loves volnay drinkers. And on this day he loves me. At least over dinner of medium rare magret with shallot truffle red wine sauce (yes I used a quarter glass of this in the sauce because I’m a baller).

In any case boo yah. This needs an hour to settle down so dont pop and pour this at this point. The first thing I want to talk about is the texture. It passes by the palate with a clear but not thick alert to its presence. Just palate coating like a spray gun. Just soaks the palate an inch deep. Perfectly pure cherry fruit at the tipping point between fresh / young and deep/ dense. Some spice. It has that palate vibrancy thing going on. Really sticks on the finish. Long. Hits the top of the mouth between gum and tooth.

MOs def a hand over land wine as this is definitely 1er cru quality. Outrageous for village volnay. Me love-ee this producer.

Vieilles Vignes Vacqueyras Grenache Blend 2015

Rich and meaty and full of blackberry fruit. Silky smooth, with good backbone and structure. Young, this can be enjoyed now or cellared. This needs to be your thing, but if it is, stock up and thank me later. — 8 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

This is drinking really well. A lovely nose with kirsch, a herby sage thing and meaty, lively red fruit. On the palate young and vital. Lovely bright definition- vivid and powerful. Heat in check. It's young but much better balanced than a lot of 07's with great Pegau funk. Excellent and a good way ahead — 9 years ago
