Rich fruit syrup nose. Hint of licorice liquor perhaps. Dark color with a ting of rust. Clean and crisp. A bit earthy. Has most everything you see in the CA hearty and fruit driven Pinot. Ripe. — 7 years ago

Demarie

Nebbiolo d'Alba Nebbiolo

Raspberry, dried blackberry and cedar form a distinct potpourri when considered with the dried rose petal and orange bitters. There is a fleeting fruitiness that approaches strawberries dropped into a coniferous fire. Lovely, if firm tannins support a whale of a wine. Amazing depth with Roobios tea leafs, tobacco, graphite, bay leaf, bing cherry, dried black cherry and black currants on carbon paper and campfire ash, driven deep into a charred wormwood and dusty schist. This is an incredible Nebbiolo that over-delivers in every sense! #piedmontesewines #nebbiolo #nebbiololover #nebbiololife #nebbiolodalba #alba #Demarie #piedmont #babybarolo #italianred #Italianwine — 7 years ago

Jean-Christophe Garnier

Bézigon Chenin Blanc 2006

Toujours aussi fan de ce blanc
Encore un peu de réduction au nez qui peut perturber
Ensuite en bouche c'est un peu petrolé sur le musc, mineral mais surtout le tranchant d'un rasoir
Quelle fraîcheur, quelle nervosité .....
Super droit
Un vin très très nature sans compromis qui surprend voire laisse perplexe
Mais franchement j'adore ce côté un peu austère serré minéral, il est taille pour la route
On en reparle dans 10 ans !
