Bodegas Muga
Reserva Unfiltered Rioja Tempranillo Blend
Leathery on the nose. Very crisp initial dark darkness....well spoken. For the price not bad — 7 years ago
Domaine Bachelet
Bourgogne Aligoté 2005
Drinking this was mind bending. I had known of Bachelet but never expected greatness from the Aligoté grape. It is definitely still alive and kicking in 2017. Electricity on the palate that keeps giving and giving from the earth. Hay, underripe fruits, must've-been-malo creaminess. If you're sitting on this bottle overlook it no longer. It's singing to the heavens — 7 years ago
Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon
Clos du Four Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine Chardonnay 2004
This bottle drank like a fine sherry. Lots of savory nuttiness and tinted a deep deep orange. Not sure if it was the bottle or the vintage that lost its structure....but It's lucky I'm a sherry fan. — 7 years ago
Nicolas Joly
Clos de la Bergerie Savennières Roche aux Moines Chenin Blanc 1997
Alive and kicking absolutely. I am bowing to this wine. Waves are high. Flower day — 7 years ago
Vignato
Primo Incontro Veneto Bianco 2016
This is some pretty bomb natty juice. Very very tart on the palate...reminds me of ACV and berlinerweisse....minerality is the first to arrive, some fruit shows up later but not much. Reminds me of eating underripe green plums in Eastern Europe. Tannic and bitter. After 45 minutes the flowers and melons started emerging from the cloudy soup. For twenty four bucks it's worth the experience. Always nice to take more notes on the garganega grape — 7 years ago
Louis Jadot
Nuits-Saint-Georges Pinot Noir 2013
Actually delicious. The most impressive Jadot cuvee I have come across. — 7 years ago
Jean Foillard
"Cuvée Corcelette" Morgon Gamay 2015
So delicate on the first show, and then carries you down to the depths of the earth. Showing very well.....spectacular classic Beaujolais style. — 7 years ago
Farina
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2014
Deep deep down tobacco notes with every kind of dried fruit . A Full bodied crazy mistress...let this one take you for a ride. — 7 years ago
Finca Decero
Remolinos Vineyard Malbec 2014
Jammy and out of control. Not the worst Malbec I've had from Mendoza, not the best. — 7 years ago
Patrick Vogel
Shy at first, but willing to reveal itself as time went on. Bitter melon rind and green fruit are first, ethanol, mineral, and noble rot earthiness continues on through to triumphant acidity...high vibration winemaking...good to drink now, but with age could become otherworldly 🌓 — 7 years ago
