Wow!! This was amazing. PnP. Earth, barnyard mixed with lovely cherry fruit and subtle herbs. Great texture and depth. One of my best bottles of this. Paired great with BBQ. — a month ago

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2014

Wine of the night and more. An incredible example of how good Morgon can be. Complexity, length, structure, and the rest. — 6 months ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

2014 vintage. Excellent cork and fill. Decanted with minimal sed and tasted after 1.5 hours. One of the few outlier exceptions (Haut-Bages-Libéral, Pichon-Lalande, et al) that proves the general, big and bold, Pauillac rule. Delicate impressions from start to finish with impeccable balance. Medium body. Plenty of flavors and sensations without big, overt commitments to any of them. Playing the field and we are all the better for it. Drinking beautifully now without any perceived or obvious Scylla/Charybdis pitfalls in the next decade. 01.16.26. — 6 months ago

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend 2014

Ok this is my experiment!! My first experience with Domaine Tempier was three years ago; this wine, this vintage. Presenting with an extremely plush salinity in the mouth the wine was lacking just a bit in smell and quite a bit more in pallet.
I did some research..discovering that Bandol Rosé has a pretty unique aging potential. It took a bit but I was able to acquire another 2014...and I waited...(suggested 5-6 yrs.) So I split the difference ...almost!
This wine is so much better on the nose and palate...Rainier Cherries..Watermelon..Kiwi fruit..Jolly Rancher strawberries..tangerine and wet gravel!
Every vintage is different....the 2015 was great from the start and remains my favorite!!

@Dawn E. Great bottle, can be easily forgotten in good storage for many years.

Domaine Roulot

Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2014

After drinking the ‘15 last week it seemed logical to revisit the ‘14. A whiff of reduction that mixes well with the apple and citrus scents . Beautifully handled oak that never intrudes on the wonderful pure fruit flavors.

@Ira Schwartz how do you feel about the increasing cost of the Bourgogne? Great wine nonetheless.

@Alex Jones I have come to expect these things. Instead of purchasing 6-12 bottles annually I now buy 2-3 bottles. On the positive side it forces me to find a lower cost (hopefully not a lower quality ) producer.

Château Ducasse

White Bordeaux Blend 2014

Nose has lemon juice mellowed in oak barrel, lemon peel, white peach peel, under-ripe white peach slice and dry sand.

Palate has lemon slice, tangerine peel, lemongrass, (light) oak influence, oxidized green apple slice, but wowie the acidity is zippy like a bottle of current vintage!

@Dawn E. I noted, and remembered. These have a good life, if you store them properly, 8-10+ no problem.
