Vielles Vignes 2022 Givry. Drinkable but not memorable, a little hard edged and clunky but has some nice tart fruit and a stemmy quality. — 3 months ago
This 2005 bsilutely exceeded my expectations. Having it on New Year’s Day 2024 . It’s vibrant and complex. Orange marmalade with dried apricots and lemons and a honey drizzle over all of it . Great structure and minerality. — 4 months ago
Such a perfect example of what Chablis has to offer. Gorgeous golden color which perfectly reflected the fall foliage in the mountain setting I was drinking it on. Stoney and rounded. Pure apple and pear fruits with a hint of lemon. — 6 months ago

A friend brought this 1974 Mouton Rothschild over tonight. Bottle label barely visible from cellaring . Some evaporation. Retained dark color while decanting which was promising. Certainly beyond its prime but still a wine of interest. Soft, dusty spice box with dried fruit. Madierized. Hints of chocolate with light blackberry fruit. — 2 months ago
2021 Pinotage from Pickenierskloof in South Africa Only 1400 bottles produced. Named Sangrio from Swartbeeg Wingerse. Full textured, reduced black and red berries, dark chocolate, velvety, Asian spices. Long pleasant finish. Certainly the best Pinotage I’ve ever had although I haven’t really had a huge exposure. Had at Xmas with roast. — 4 months ago

Had this 2011 a few weeks ago with Beef Daube next to a very aged Mouton. Plummy smooth but not too impressive. Forgot I had a little left in the bottle in a cool corner of kitchen and had it 10 days later and it was more enchanting, somehow fresher more berry fruit with a gorgeous hint of leather in background. — 2 months ago
2022 beauty. Quite restrained with hints of lychee, lanolin, peaches, herbal tea. Nice acidity for a Viognier. Perfect with a fennel based white Bouillabaisse — 4 months ago

Found this 2022 pleasing. Not trying to be a new world SB. Steely , bright, tart orchard fruits with hints of lime and quince. Wish the price was lower than $39. — 24 days ago
