Clisson Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2009
Very cool indeed.
@Doug Powers thanks to a wine mentor I too learned of the beauty of aged Muscadet. He also educated me that Bojo can age. When ignorance is turned into knowledge, it can be very rewarding.
@Ira Schwartz, I remember visiting Marc Olivier @ Pepiere one January (2007?) with two of my wine group friends, he climbed in our car and we drove out to see some of the vineyards, including Clisson. The amount of shells and granite was amazing. One of the nicest vignerons I’ve ever met!!
Domaine de Trévallon
Rouge Vin de Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône Cabernet-Syrah Blend 1990
@Tom Casagrande, I have some bottles left (1988, 1989, mag of 1990, and I think 1995), these were always amazing!!
Nice to see the old world doing a Cabernet Syrah blend. A great blend and very common in Australia as you know.
35 y old and delivering, respect for the vintner

2019. Fleural notes on the nose. Taste green apples, maybe slight citrus. Has good acidity and a touch of minerals. Very nice Muscadet — 12 days ago

Réserve Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Red Rhone Blend 2019
This ain’t Rayas. Would be great at $20, but the pedigree has this way overpriced these days. — 13 days ago
@Matt Austin “pricing by association “ has become a joke.
