Marcel Lapierre
Morgon Gamay 2009
2009: quite dense appearance; ripe black / red fruit w a faint touch of horse hair (Brett ); generously proportioned attack of ripe red and black fruit, leads onto medium weight palate which finishes fruitfully but without the verve of a "classic" vintage. A satisfying and quite delicious drink without being memorable. A lot of 09 burgundies would fit these descriptors. — 11 years ago
Fiorano (Boncompagni Ludovisi)
Principe di Venosa Vino da Tavola White Blend 1992
Gorgeous. Full of delicate verve and strength. 1993 vintage, bottled in 2001. Semillon. What a treat. — 13 years ago
Bernard Boisson-Vadot
Les Grands Charrons Meursault Chardonnay 2008
The palate is full of lively verve. Lemon lime high acidity. What seemed at first to be notes of hazelnut actually blew off. In fact I mistook these notes. The wine seems to be rather reduced. Color is light gold/dark lemon. Went well with roast pork. — 11 years ago
Whitcraft Winery
Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2012
Lots of spice, red fruit, and plenty of verve. Whitcraft continues to be one of my favorite Cali producers. — 12 years ago
Massican
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Neil Cornish
Solid, but a bit lacking in verve. Classy and powerful, just a little short on elegance. — 11 years ago
