Proper Etiquette

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 1995

A very calm CNdP. All in balance. Delicious fruit. Very poised. Great restraint but still proper depth and power. A lovely wine in an exceptional flight — 9 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

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2012

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

Domaine Leroy

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2010

Roel van der Burg
9.1

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
