Vin de Garde Château Chalon Savagnin 2007

Absolutely fucking stunning! A clear peachy apricot to the rim with legs like a siren's tears; musty, freshly rained out soil, moss, truffles and shiitake, macadamia and chestnuts, with hints of orange zest and freshly picked rose pepper; beautify balanced acidity that initially cuts like a box-knife, only to gradually meld with the mouth-coating, oilily graceful and voluptuous body. I this wine were a book it would be Master and Margarita. If it were a piece of music it would be Stockhausen's Klavierstück IX! — 11 years ago

Amazing wine 😍...wasn't a little too young?

It was a bit young, yes, but surprisingly approachable nonetheless. I've never had a Chateau Chalon this young before and have to say it was a bit of a revelation - it seemed like a completely different wine; more of a fresh aperitif than a rich after-dinner drink.

Rich is the wrong word: less decadently dense maybe?

Excitement leads to illegible handwriting: white grapefruit, fog, a new Japanese carbon steel knife, and that magic of great wines to smell & taste of things that aren't in theory supposed to. Thank you Ted!

La Geynale Cornas Syrah 1990

An excellent expression of Cornas with a healthy age on it. Last of several bottles I bought in 2012 or 2013. Earthy, mushrooms, and a touch of anise on the nose and mouth. Rustic Syrah from the Northern Rhone by an old master. — 10 years ago

Candied grapefruit, a touch of RS, then the acid hit. Not enough to make a dentist appointment but enough to be satisfied.

Imperial Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2011

What an elegant Rioja... master of the balance. But the tip is to serve it in the right temperature- initially served too cold, opened wildly after some time when it warmed up (especially nose). Plum, raisins, mocha with sweet milk chocolate, full-bodied, mellow tarty tannins. Great bottle. Recommend — 10 years ago
