Open knit and seamless. Displays a ripe fruit profile without decadence. A core of laser-focused cherries and brambly fruit combine with rock-solid tannins and nice acidity. Outstanding length and persistence on the finish. Superb effort. — 2 years ago

We’re in NYC for dinner Monday with friends visiting from the west coast. Would love to break bread together sometime in March.

Big, ripe nose with a hint of oxidation. Grilled nuts, figs, caramel, sweet burnt orange rind. So fine. White chocolate as well. Palate is juicy and so crisp with rich caramel decadence and sweet caramelized citrus. Long finish and terrific freshness. Outrageous. So opulent and incisive. — 3 years ago

Six Grapes Reserve Porto Blend

This wine throws parties that go late but not too late full of characters but polite ones and also invites you to dinners with other intellectuals that go late and are rich but get deep and down to life on earth. Which is to say it hints at decadence but is cool with just having like, a real deep conversation on literature. Full of blackberry and cassis fruit but with baking spices and something that says mud delicious mud. Vibing with tannins that aren’t knitted in and a certain element that satisfies but leaves you unsatisfied so you take another sip and it may be on purpose to remind you you are mortal. — 3 years ago

This app drives me up the wall. Leave your notes for a short while and they are lost…

This producer is at the top of the food chain in Rhône. The wine coats the glass and this shapes your expectations for what is to come. The nose and palate displays decadence and richness, which is just what I remember from the 97 vintage. In my opinion, best enjoyed in its youth.

@Severn Goodwin, as a community, we have shared comments on more than one occasion, and we are still in the same spot. My workaround is to use the platform less. But reviewing the content of the thread; so many workarounds, which a rarely a good thing.

I do pen & paper notes then take a picture then send it to google translate. But then all it does is give me a bunch of Opera phrases 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maison Champy (Domaine Champy)

Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1720

Smoked earth and truffle and seared beef, raspberry and blackberry with graphite and red cherry flex big terroir muscle showing baked poppyseed, roses, burnt rubber and a grain of mint, aromatically. Apocalyptic, ecstatically. Raspberry-cherry reduction with a rich cranberry tart, morel, smoked cherry and red currants, fig and allspice; endlessly transmogrifying into nuanced decadence. Amazing, seductive, bold.
