Nice wine for $20. Cherry fruit and some healthy tannins, but relatively light. Nice with turkey; would be good with a lot of foods — 6 months ago

Champ Forey Bourgogne Aligoté 2014

This is magical. You know when a white is really open for business and showing the benefit not detriment of oxidation? This is that. Compelling and mature and probably in its best spot. Started off as a aperitif and became a food wine and something for contemplation too over a few hours. Great work! — 5 years ago

Santenots Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Belle surprise que ce vin. Très axée sur la cerise et des épices comme le poivre qui amènent même la famille à croire qu’on pourrait être en Cote-Rotie. Je ne l’étais pas mais je comprends les commentaires... c’est assurément plus facile quand on a vu l’étiquette ! Une bouteille très agréable d’un producteur loin de la spéculation — 6 years ago

Les Gaudichots Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2007

Fresh, slightly green (stems?), primary. Warm fermentation? Quite lean on the palate. A bit more fruit would help. Very clear but a bit lacking in beauty or lushness. — 8 years ago

Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2014

No. 2 in the Vosne Romanee bracket. Some spirity oak notes. A sweetness to the palate with drying fine Tannins. Re- tasting:- Not quite up to the others in this bracket in terms of weight. A little alcoholic and clumsy in this company. My least pointed at 95 points but still a Gold Medal! — 6 years ago

Prémices Jasnières Chenin Blanc 2009

If there is a better match in this world for lobster than aged Chenin, I haven’t found it yet. This off-dry wine has tremendous pretty florals as it opens. Some nice minerals and just enough acid to keep it interesting. — 2 years ago

Maison Nicolas Perrin

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2013

Low yields in Northern Rhône 2013, but the quality of the fruit is prevalent here. Structured and well-integrated fine grained tannins at the five year mark. The nose explodes out of the glass with finesse and doused complexities. Definitive Syrah nuances of black raspberries, black plums, black olives, fresh cut violets, cracked black pepper, Indian spices, grilled and smoked meats, and stone dust. Light weight but packs a continuous release of flavors. Nose and palate changes from fruit to floral to spicy to meaty. As you move to different areas and rooms the wine changes. The more air it gets, the more meat starts hanging out. Complex indeed for a $20 bottle. Great showing. — 6 years ago
