Nose has ripe black cherry, menthol, few day old chocolate cake, blueberry jam and old cigar box. Initially alcohol makes itself known, but diminishing with air.

Palate has dried blackberries, dehydrated sweet cherry, over-ripe black cherry, dark chocolate covered espresso beans, faint cedar with medium tannins, long finish. A great wine but more air desired as improvements are noted.

Decanted 2H, then double-decant for service; notes at 4H open.

Second bottle of almost a case of old BV GdL from a very trusted local source, no disappointing. Many more bottles to go on this stellar vintage. 😉

A great paring to Ribeye from Allen Bros. topped with truffle butter. — a year ago

Smooth and delicious. Tried paring with aged gouda although a creamier cheese would be a better fit.

2016 vintage

Some say Aligote is the red headed varietal from Burgundy, rare and exotic, to the daring! And I’m daring, this is my first time trying it. Pale yellow to the eye. The nose is very floral and perfumed plus yellow apple and white peach and fresh green herbs and smoke tertiary scents. The pallet is very clean with green apple, umami and a slightly smoky finish; it is bone dry, light bodied, with bright acidity, no tannings and low alcohol. What can I say? The most interesting white wine I’ve had in twenty twenty one . Oh! And I’m a sucker for red…

Paired with pan seared scallops on a bed of cauliflower purée topped with blacked truffle and wasabi mustard micro greens. The paring? Well, as close as you can get to magical. Also works wonders with smoked oyster flammkuchen. Cheers. — 2 years ago
