Sainte-Épine Saint-Joseph Syrah 2016

Lyle Fass
9.3

Stunning, lifted nose of violets, blackberry, red fruit, florals and a little barbecue-sauce savoriness, almost Côte-Rôtie-like in perfume. The palate is juicy, elegant and nicely mature, with good texture and freshness, but it lacks the excitement and precision of Sylvain Gauthier’s later wines. Unfortunately, there is also a touch of heat on the finish that I cannot get past. Beautiful aromatics, solid wine, but the palate keeps it at 9.3. — 2 months ago

Aux Thorey Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

The Vosne-esque Aux Thorey is showing beautifully at age 14, perfumed and seductive with excellent depth and concentration. It’s dark fruited, black tea and spice tinged and laced with minerality. In a great place. — 6 months ago

Les Clos De L'orme Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2015

Medium dar rubi robe. Nose of flowers, dark cherries and a hint of asian spices. Very long, medium bodied and complex in the mouth, this is outrageously good and oh so young. Great stuff. Our valentines diner :) — 7 months ago

Brouilly Gamay 2020

昨日のお誕生日ワイン。鴨に合わせてガメイ種。ワイン見聞録福袋のひとつで市中価格は税別4900円とのこと。ほんとはもっと果実味が豊からしいのだが、夏場のヒートショックにやられたのかそれほどでもなかったのが残念。

Aged in Stockinger barrels. Spicy, with a touch of wood and cake spices. No sulfites. Juicy, clean and remarkably pure, with gras texture balanced by freshness. Gentle, delicate, deep and explosive all at once. — 2 months ago

Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2020

Nice Morgon with just enough age to come into its own. Quite full and dark without being overbearing. Even with a several hour decant the tannins still very much make themselves known. Acid and dark fruit keep this in line overall. Nice pairing with some oven spare ribs at the height of winter. Try again in 3-5 years. — 7 months ago
