Philippe Pacalet

Pommard Pinot Noir 2015

“I see everyone is having a productive morning... Tip of the spear. Edge of the knife... Crack of my ass!" Well this sums it up. Quite stinky at first. Oxidized and pale. But give it 3 hours and this wine blows your socks off. Alas at its peak drink now. If you want to learn more read previous notes. This is one of the best Burghs out there. — 17 hours ago

I think more time in the bottle will do. This one justice. Still too young tasting to be unleashed. — 4 years ago

Samuel Louis Smith

Spear Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

A beautiful if lean Chardonnay that really needs a few years before opening. My wife didn’t like it and European with a European palate. Mineral, slate, smoke, orange pith, unripe pomegranate. Give it a few years and caramel will emerge and it will be beautiful. — a month ago

Château Sansonnet

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. Splendid nose and excellent color. PNP. Medium heavy body. Massive attack of blackberry and plum at the tip of the blue lines spear. A mega-fave St. Emmie producer in the $35-$40 strike price. Fleshy now and wish I had enough storage/discipline/ca$hi$h to park a couple of cases straight into darkness for a decade plus to trace performance/unfolding/defensive posture. Alas, I am undone. 12.10.24. — a year ago

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2022

100% Clone 943 Pinot Noir. Black cherry, some blueberry and black plum. Subtle and balanced. A bit of spice on the finish. Loved the winery and you'll love the 2022 clone 943. — 4 months ago

Block 13 Pinot Noir 2021

Loads of cherry on the nose. Plum, cranberry and raspberry on the palate. Shows a desirable tartness and full mouth feel throughout the finish. We loved visiting the winery and love this 100% estate single clone Pinot. — 4 months ago
