Cornas Syrah 2012

Very pretty. Lucid fruit. Good structure with a savory and animal element. Not too intense but very correct with black pepper and herbs. Good stuff — 2 months ago

This stuff is probably on the way to becoming the next Clape or Allemand. So delicious.

It was a beautifully made wine. Lacked a little of the intensity of those two but great clarity of flavor. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for these going forward

Franc de Pied Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2015

Surprisingly decent. Raspberries, blackberries, a little bit of tart, a little bit of nice organic tree bark. — 6 months ago

Cuvée Unique Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a pretty ruby color with a transparent core and maybe some slight rim variation. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. No obvious signs of sediment. On the nose, developing with strawberries, raspberries, mushrooms, sous bois and soft baking spices. Delicate. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. Finish is medium+. Lovely and quite elegant. I called Bourgogne Rouge from a great producer but it was 2012 Raphet “Clos Vougeot”. Oooop. Drinking well now with some secondary characteristics just beginning to show. Drink through 2032.
