Le Ban Saint-Aubin Pinot Noir 2014

Pretty funky upon opening. Horsey like a Raffault. But there is a sense of big cherry fruit lurking. Very floral as well. Some combo there of fresh flowers and horseshit. After 30-45 minutes the shit is gone and it’s all violets, earth and cherries. Awesome. Morel is magic. Palate is deep, raw like only Morel can be, with terrific freshness and acidity and a lovely rusticity. St Aubin Rouge are not the most elegant Burgundies but they have so much more than elegance. This wine is long. Really long. It’s a crazy wine that I think with 3-4 more years will really show well. This is like a young version of the 08. — 9 years ago

Pierre-Henri Morel

Gigondas Grenache Blend 2011

Fantastic Rhone Valley wine. Notes of dark jammy plum, cedar and clove spice on the nose, with strawberry-rubarb, raspberry sorbet, pomegranate, and light minerally feel, medium plus body, high acidity, and a nice and smooth finish. Great with food, and with an hour decant, by itself. — 10 years ago

Signargues Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhône Blend

Cran-plum nose, with very well integrated boysenberry, hints of Pom, pepper, lime, tannin.
Wow! This wine is indeed perfect for a Monday night game of darts. Bullseye on the price point and producer for quality.

New Age Tinto Dulce

This was really tasty and smooth. Add some lemon and it takes on a totally different flavor. That was suggested by the man at The Anderson's. Highly recommend. 11% alcohol. 50% Malbec 50% Merlot — 11 years ago

Clos Liebenberg Riesling 2008

2008 Clos Liebenberg. Alsatian wines don't get enough respect. Delicious but a bit out of tune. Wish the finish on this was a bit longer. I think the typically high 2008 acid is interfering a bit. — 11 years ago
