Millésime Brut Champagne Blend 2012

Pale lemon in color.

Nice on the nose, and medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, green apples, light spices, yeast, light brioche, minerals and sea salt.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This 14 year old Champagne is starting to drink nicely now. Rich and nicely balanced. Tangy and spicy.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

I've had a few vintages of this Champagne, and this one seems less approachable at the moment.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food, like fresh seafood.

A blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. Aged for 7 years on the lees.

12% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$100.

Slight funk on the nose with hints of mushrooms. Leathery with slight acid to finish. Not much tannins so really good with light beef dishes (carpaccio and Tartarus, etc…). Good wine to have for dinner parties. — 5 years ago

Château La Dominique

Grand Cru Classé St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Needs a long decant. Perhaps 2 hours. Deep brooding Merlot blend. Dark chocolate, blackberry, dark cherry. Should be consumed with steak or lamb. I had it with aged cheddar which worked but was not ideal. Ready to drink now but likely better in a few years. — 14 days ago

Juicy, friendly vintage, with wood showing but plenty of energy behind it. Long finish, very pure, and already so easy to like. This has that 2025 openness but still enough structure to stay serious. — 2 months ago

Alexandra Grande Cuvée Rosé Champagne 2012

I was unaware of this cuvée. This is only the 10th time it’s been released since its inauguration in 1982. Lots going on. Upon pouring, the bubbles disappeared quickly. A powerful nose of strawberry, cherries and florals yet I do not feel this was fully open.
In the mouth citrus like acidity. Builds in the mouth but in a restrained way. Very vinous. Creamy texture with layers of red fruit, toast and spice vacationing in your mouth. Deceptively elegant texture .

Hermitage Syrah 2014

Was hoping for so much after the St Jospeh VV ‘04, but Meh....not good p/q. Nice northern rhone dark fruit savoury nose. Decent weight, balance and structure, but no better than a decent St Joseph or even a very good CduR. Passsss at this price point. — 5 years ago

Barrel sample. Denser than usual. Big mama Volnay. Chewy, dense, and loaded with unreal fruit. This has more body and push than I expected, but the village perfume is still there. Hedonistic Volnay with shoulders. — 2 months ago

8.9

No ratings on this wine in a while it seems. The 2024 vintage is quite quaffable, although more tannin than I’d expect in a carbonic wine. Perhaps semi-carbonic, with some time on that 100% whole cluster following the carbonic maceration? A very enjoyable wine though, fruit forward as you’d expect from carbonic but with more structure and grip. Well made. — 6 months ago
