Bonny Doon Vineyard

A Proper Pink Tannat Cabernet Franc 2015

Interesting. Big flavor with tartness that causes a little pucker — 8 years ago

Raisins Gaulois Gamay 2016

All around solid. A little sweeter than expected. Will need another bottle for a proper tasting, since distracted by a show. TBD. — 8 years ago

Domaine Leroy

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2010

Just out of the bottle this was a bit 'big'. It screamed exotic fruits; a bit too much to my taste. The palate was not that heavy, so it felt slightly out of balance. I missed (hoped for) minerality/citrus (tension?) too. Left half the bottle for the next day. The 'bigness' was gone and on the palate it gained weight (in a nice acidic way). Will def. benefit from proper decanting or longer aging. Made by Lalou Bize-Leroy 'in the vineyard'. They don't have a winemaker on the payroll. Great quality Bourgogne Blanc, made out of declassified Meursault, Puligny and Savigny fruit. But at this pricelevel there is serious competition around the corner... — 10 years ago

Two greats of Bordeaux, Cantemerle and big Ralph Sands. This wine still has plenty of sweet fruit at 29, and a generous bouquet on the level of Margaux proper! — 11 years ago

That wine was majorly kick-ass. Loved it.

Château de Beaucastel

Coudoulet de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2013

I knew what was coming. Consistent with other recent reviews, this one's tightly coiled, zesty, fruity (for a CDR) and bright. And I gave it an hour long proper decant. Enjoyable as a daily tipple but needs time to develop depth. — 8 years ago

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Meursault-Charmes 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

Beautiful acidity - orange blossom, lemon peel, curry spice. non premox, just beautiful, proper aged oxidation — 9 years ago

Got this Syrah from my good friend @Nat Gunter . Was looking for a special occasion and a Friday night after a loooong week with a colic-y baby is just that. Momma needs a proper glass of vino! Thank you Nat! — 10 years ago
