12/24/2023: NOEL 2023 FAMILY COLMAR - Millésimes 2018 — a year ago
A Régnié which expresses itself on the side of black cherries, kirsch, or Plum Eau de vie. The nose is very expressive and counterbalances a very dry character in the mouth, almost salty. Aerial, accurate. To drink.
Note revised upwards, at D+1 because it held up admirably and even opened up to additional nuances. A sincere wine. Really well done.

Note revue à la hausse, à J+1 car il a admirablement tenu et s’est même ouvert sur des nuances supplémentaires. Un vin sincère. Vraiment bien fait. — 3 years ago

This beautiful cab dominant blend (15% merlot) promises to be one of their best vintages in a long while. Dark fruits with a depth of flavor uncharacteristic for an only slightly big medium-bodied wine. Playfully spicy with a good tannic core. This got better each day over a 5 day timeframe. This is gonna be a great wine in 5 years. — 3 years ago
Deep ruby rust, opaque, nicely balanced Rhône blend with licorice, cherries and dark red fruits. Very good! — 7 months ago

The most intriguing white I’ve had all year.
Kind of reminds me of Simone Palette but with way more going on. The nose is utterly intoxicating. It is rich and voluminous but the streak of minerality keep it fresh AF. Also kind of reminds me of Domino Aguila Blanco. Just outstanding. I want more!!!!!!! — 2 years ago

This 2023 is more like the 2021 than the richer, riper 2022 Rose, spicy berry fruit aromas, excellent acidity, nice balance, medium-long finish, our first day of spring-like nearly 80 degree weather here in NorCal. — 2 days ago
