9.2

Unassuming. Strict, quiet, barely there aromas of gunpowder, white flowers, blanched almonds. The pale hay colors suggest this is light and easy. It’s not.

It’s 14.5% - fatty oily, type A introvert of a wine.

Slightly hot, we get yellow peach, jasmine, almond. Drink this at cellar temp and drink slow, as she charges quick. — 3 years ago

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1990

Tour d’Argent. Tawny, heavy color in the glass. The Somm smiles. I smile. The room smiles. This is killer juice that opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe bing cherries, earthly spice, some sois bois, and some Asian spice. I’ve had this wine probably 10+ times and this is easily the best of them. Silky smooth. The nose is sexual. Killer juice. Worth the price. — 5 years ago

How does Notre Dame look from there? Wine list still good or picked over? Have fun.

In Feb there was scaffolding covering the rear. Now there is more scaffolding, some signs of the fire and no spire of course. Sad.

The list is still a monster. Old stuff is picked through but it’s all relative because mid 90s is now “old stuff”. If you know what to look for there are good options. Ps the food is significantly improved at TdA. Even better this time vs Feb. Worth a look again.

Puig Ambeille Collioure 2020

9.1

Delicious. It’s mostly Mourvèdre but it’s different than a Bandol in the it’s seems more open and a bit less structured. Lots of garrigue/roasted herbs/iodine on the nose. Dark berries underneath. Concentrated and very savory in the mouth. Very clingy and long. A fair amount of relatively soft tannin, with acids on the lowish side. Really good value, if you can find it.

UPDATE: Night 2 the palate is showing less savory and way more deep fruit. That suggests to me that this needs air of drink in the short term and also will age for a few years. — 10 months ago
