Venezie Giulia Pinot Grigio 2015

Magic. Almost indescribable - my tasting notes on this took three tries, and are probably nugatory in the face of such a sui generis masterpiece. Gorgeous copper hue. Endlessly complex nose and palate that, for me, starts on peach, develops into a ripe quince note, and then becomes golden apple or even overripe pear. The body is supple and the acid is there as a solid structure. Don’t sleep on @Sasa Radikon. — 7 years ago

The Prince In His Caves Farina Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc

Absolutely sui generis. I've neglected Abe Schoener's wines for a few years but this makes me realize what an idiot I've been. Grapefruit, honeysuckle and sweet tobacco on the nose, and all manner of acidity in the mouth. If you want a wine to pair with sushi, this is it. Given all the debris in the last glass I presume no fining or filtration takes place....with its orange glow and particulate matter, it looks like a glass of nuclear waste but it tastes really good. — 9 years ago

Domaine Bachelet-Monnot

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2011

3/5 600 bottiglie anno vigne di 50 anni, 18 mesi di legno 40% nuovo più 8 mesi in vasche sui lieviti. Ha stentato tanto ad aprirsi e quando gli altri iniziavano a sedersi lui ha preso il sopravvento. Legno più netto al naso, ginestre e camomilla, the verde, pere kaiser e mela cotogne, equilibrio non perfetto, leggermente spostato verso le note morbide, nel finale una nota morbida di cenere e burro. — 9 years ago

Clos de Mez

Chateau Gaillard Morgon 2012

I am hard-pressed to rate this wine. It's so atypical, but this estate's wines are reputed to take years to round into form. Right now, I mostly get a sense of highly-extracted minerality, with only a little fruit showing-- although it's interesting, highly-confectionary red fruit. And that's on the SECOND NIGHT!. As an unabashed fan of traditionally-styled Bojos, I really don't know where this will end up. But from reputation, I guess it's early in that journey. Right now it's intellectually interesting but not that pleasurable.

UPDATE (night 4): I left about 1/4 of the bottle until now, and, as reputed, it is more pleasurable and demonstrative now. Very pure, confectionary plum/ripe cherry juice fruit in the nose, and there's even a whiff of Bourbon (without the alcohol). Minerality still there but playing a supporting role now. Plus there's a feral/animal tang. Still tannic, but they've softened. This is sui generis, so don't compare it to anything, especially Beaujolais, or you're doing it a disservice. Day 4 rating 9.2. Age this puppy for several years.
