Very much on the light side. Smooth. — 3 years ago
5本で1万円の赤ワインセットその四、バローロの2016年ものです。通常価格は税別で6980円もするとのこと。普段ならなかなか手が出ません。
色合いは濃いめのガーネット、アタックは柔らかいのですが、アフターはかなりパワフル。柑橘やスパイスが交錯した複雑感も素晴らしい。文句なくすばらしい。 — 5 years ago
Watermelon rind, peach, dusty citrus, sweet acidity. — 6 years ago
Yes, Virginia, there is such a thing as a weeknight Barbaresco. Textbook Nebbiolo nose shows spiced cherry, orange peel, leather, dry gravel. Intense but soft and tautly-balanced in the mouth. Nice acids and soft tannins completely smothered in cherry fruit and savory minerality. Ridiculous value. — 9 months ago

why buy sancerre when you could buy welches white grape juice for a fraction of the price??
SALM DUNK. fruity yet clean with a hint of mineralogy — 2 years ago
This is such a hidden gem. Alix and Etinne's negociant label. Do I see the Roulot influence here (wink wink)? I guess so. Very muted on the nose: minerality, honey, white flowers, ripe citrus, and stone fruits. Sooo much more expressive on the palate! Very broad and soft textures, white Brioche, baking spices, apple blossoms, medium+ very integrated and soft acidity. LONG finish. — 3 years ago
Does no betray that it is a SB at first blush. The grass is more a tertiary aroma beneath maybe a green apple nose.
On the palate the acid predominates but is not obtrusive. The wine is probably more of a Loire valley signature.
Rosslyn and Alix did not appreciate this wine at all. In fact they disliked it so much they did not drink it. — 5 years ago
