Les Rouliers Vin de Table du Vaucluse Red Rhone Blend 2016

Great perfume. Strong burn, bit “alcoholic” in the middle yet with a great finale that really shows hints of the other more renowned cuvées. Less animality than expected. — 2 months ago

Corton-Charlemagne Chardonnay 1992

Tasted blind. From magnum. Medium gold color, leesy nose. Notes of citrus, almond paste, mint, grapefruit and some ginger. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Lots of acidity. We're all over the map on deciphering what this is. But we circle back to Burgundy and my guess is 89 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlie. This wine tonight certainly benefited from aging in the magnum format... we're all amazed at the freshness and quality this 92 still had. — a year ago

Cuvée Marie Beurrier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2013

I opened this bottle of the 2013 “Cuvée Marie Beurrie” the day before and poured into a ship’s decanter for a couple of hours before returning to the bottle. In the glass, just, wow. This is developing still with the darkest brambles and stone with purple flowers and garrigue. This is so beguiling, so deep with tannins and acid for days. Full of power and grace and stunner with cassoulet, Toulouse sausage and duck confit. This could use another decade easily and drink well through 2053. — a month ago

Réserve des Célestins Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2011

Bonneau’s 2011 Celestins is stunning tonight, ultra rich, expressive and perfumed with layers of dark fruit preserves, exotic spices and roasted Provençal herbs. It’s pure silk on the palate with killer concentration, fine grained tannins and a finish that keeps on going. So good tonight! — 8 months ago

Domaine de Montille

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2014

A beauty. Needs a decant prior to consumption. A more linear style. Not fat and rich like Bonneau du Martray. — 17 days ago

McLaren Vale Grenache 2021

I made no notes at the restaurant so doing this from memory. Firstly when the menu is degustation, I never get the matching wine option, preferring to choose a bottle that goes with all courses as much as possible. This light to medium bodied Grenache fits the bill and ticks all the boxes - best district for Grenache in Australia; old vine Grenache, a terrific vintage in South Australia; and a hands off, alternate producer. Grenache can be such a chameleon from barely medium weight with stalky red fruits like this one, with a lovely red floral perfume, to full bodied versions like Rayas and Bonneau Celestins. Barb and I really enjoyed this. Also, Delectable, this was a Grenache Carignan blend - not offered in your database. Continuing our road trip through the Mornington Peninsula. — 4 months ago

Yes , David. I like what we call BYOs in Australia where we can “Bring Your Own” with a corkage charge. A great idea!
