Domaine de la Vougeraie

Les Petits Noizons Pommard Pinot Noir 2000

The fruit and tannin, balanced, compressed with time into a delicious mystery. It was the most enjoyable Pom mars I’ve had. Too Tanic in youth, like St. George, a better Bourgogne to age. — 2 years ago

Shinshu Mars Distillery

Biker Journey 3rd Edition 2019

Not matching up to the others tonight. The Hibiki’s are crushing. That said. Now trying in a highball and it is dominating over the Nikka in the Barrel — 2 years ago

Château La Gravière

Entre-Deux-Mers Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2019

Quite nice. For the price. Say it once. Say it thrice. I drank this as I a) tried to avoid eating everything in my kitchen for the what-day-of-quarantine-are-we? day and b) tried to learn to appreciate Fiona Apple. I want to like her so much more but I feel she’ll be like Mars Volta. It’ll be an “okay I’ll let that shuffle choice play” until one day it hits and I’M IN. Maybe.
Ahem.
So lots of citrus and vanilla. Maybe some fake oak things I didn’t like up front but given time and air I appreciated the weight against the punchy greens and acid. Much as I’ll appreciate the slow cords against Fiona’s spoken-word-esque lyrics someday maybe.
But in all truth yeah I like this wine. It coats the mouth and ballasts they soul and has a lot going on for the price. And takes a minute to appreciate but it’s good for an evening.
