This fucking app keeps eating my notes. 🤬🤬🤬 As I just said, these Mikulski wines aren’t easy to find, but so worth the search. This apparently is declassified Meursault juice. It’s got toast, oatmeal, crushed stony gravel, and lemon oil. Long and lipsmacking finish. Happy boy! — 3 months ago

@Jay Kline - Three times in the past week I’ve done my notes and hit “Submit,” only to discover later that it didn’t publish them. I’ll see the wine listed under my profile with “Add your rating,” and I’ll have to either re-write them from memory or, if I didn’t finish the bottle, I’ll do “night 2” notes.

@Tom Casagrande bruh…that’s what I figured. Several years ago, I started writing all of my notes in the Notes app on my phone and then just copy and paste. That way if it errors out, I don’t lose the note.

La Mouline Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2004

A bottle I contributed during a trip to Napa’s Premiere Napa Valley week. This was opened at Torc, alongside a ‘97 Leflaive Les Pucelles, ‘11 Leroy Blagny, ‘89 La Chappelle and two young Napa cabs from Simon Estate. La Mouline is always my favorite due to the amount of co-ferment with Viognier.

Deserving of a 1-2hr decant, this got about an hour open in bottle by the time we got to it. I opened the ‘04 La Turque just a few weeks prior, so I had a reference point to work with. Heady aromatics, as expected…dark potpurri, spice, mesquite and mocha. On the palate, the youthful bacon-fat of Cote Rotie was gone and had channeled the classical tangy barbecue profile alongside black olive, peppered red and black berry fruit, and smoked meat at the finish. Whereas the LaTurque was almost Burgundian in profile (elegant, light), this was somewhere in-between the “bigger” LaLandonne and LaTurque…big, but balanced, likely due to vintage. Aromatics and finish here were standouts. Open now with a quick decant or hold another few years. — 8 months ago

In Texas we take breaks from red wine in chunks of 6 months. When you're out of practice, this is a great return ticket to Pinotland. Uncomplex, a reminder of the generosity and joy in a 56 degree pour.

Enveloping cherries and flecks of shaved cedar, bright. Fresh, vibrant, collected. — a month ago

Back exploring Cote Rotie (to go with our steak).
Initial scent of sugary candy (Haribo!) with a long, super concentrated, smooth, dry texture and tastes of red berries.
Strong contender for best wine of 2024! — 2 months ago
