Domaine J. Coudray-Bizot

Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2017

Such elegance and poise. Like a strong and muscular ballet dancer - it has the power to punch through but holds it back with such finesse. Dancing on the palate.
7 years of age - could easily do with 10 more, but already now it can do this. Highly complex and so so so refined.

Clonakilla

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2018

Lovely lithe expression of syrah with viognier adding voluptuous notes. Floral Cote Rotie-esque perfumes with a delicate pepperiness. So transparent and elegant. By night two this is showing purple and pink flowers, candied violets, iron, fresh black raspberry, brambly notes, a touch of tropical fruit. Definite structure, but it’s all grace and poise, like the muscle of a ballet dancer. Perfectly judged hint of sweetness on the finish. — 4 years ago

Reserva Santa Rosa Alicante Red Blend 2016

The size of a tight end with the balance of a ballet dancer. In other words, the Zion Williamson of wine. ¡Viva España! 🇪🇸 — 5 years ago

Barolo 2019. Great. Very dry. Not super complex. Great after a soccer game and ballet recital with the parents and in-laws. Dry with a good taste profile. Opened and let sit for 2 hours. Gone shortly after. — 6 months ago

Rovittello Etna Rosso Nerello Cappuccio Blend 2014

Nerello Mascalese, light in colour, very elegant. In a very good spot right now. Liked it a lot, especially compared to previous bottles. Where the Monte Serra is like hip hop dancing, this Rovittello is more like classical ballet 😁 — 3 years ago
