La Part des Anges Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
2023. 15% super full gas. Brambles a good descriptor. Tight acidity with a solid body of sweet dark fruit from the Mourvèdre. Bit cloying and not elegant but super pure fruit. And great. — a month ago
Alain Hudelot-Noellat
Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir
2023. Dark red raspberry. Pepper and a touch of baking spices. Super powerful. This is not a delicate pinot. There are wines that are a privilege to drink. This is that. — 2 months ago
Rust en Vrede
Estate Red Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021
The Syrah is prevalent. In a good way. Adds a purpley element that is charming. Soft tannins. Long finish — 8 days ago
Domaine Bernard Gripa
Saint-Joseph Syrah 2022
Well now. This is a treat. Pure and elegant. Solid backbone of Syrah fruit with a meatiness one expects from the No. Rhone. Really really good. Long finish. 2022 — a month ago
Daou Vineyards
Paso Robles Chardonnay 2024
2024. Flabby this is not. Not my usual drink but in 375 I wanted to try it. Pleasant. More acidity than expected. Usual Cal flavors but quite well made. Enjoyable. — 2 months ago

Domaine Laurent & Karen Boussey
Volnay Pinot Noir 2022
Really pretty red fruit. Nice acidity. Quite lacked tannins, ripe or otherwise. Polished and v drinkable. Maybe not long aging potential but fine by me. — a month ago
