Toller Chateau-neuf du Pape. Degu SHL — 4 months ago
2010 vintage. Nice fill and perfect cork. Decanted with very minimal sed. Still vibrant color a shade below ruby red. Tasted 5 mins and 30 mins after decanting. Nose slightly dirtier than expected after the funk blew off 10 mins post-decant. Medium body. Two other participants involved in tasting this mentioned a banana note, which I got after a bit of searching. It was far from a Hefeweizen gimme to be sure. Was honestly captivated by a clarion bell of exquisite, red fruit tartness at the top of the middle palate that set and reset my experience throughout at every sip. 02.22.25. — 2 months ago
I will but every bottle of Bize I am offered. Chisa has such a beautiful touch of finesse and ethereal character in her wines. — 2 days ago
Delicious red wine from Toulouse — a month ago
The 2009 “Aux Brulées” pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe red fruits: Strawberries, blackberries, red flowers, smoked and spiced meat, minerals and fine wood. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. I found this to be relatively quiet compared to some of the other bottles we enjoyed on a night of really exceptional wine. I doubt it will be losing steam anytime in the immediate future. Drink now through 2039. — 2 months ago
