Les Gravières Santenay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2020

PnP from a 375ml.
N: Mentholated Cherries, clove, some liquorice, oak, soil. Pretty indeed.
P: Light on the palate, hinting that w time and air this would fill out.Cherries and traces of oak, a bit of savory essence on the edges.All the parts are there.Sometimes these half bottles are an irresistible bargain. I’d do this again.

Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2004

Holy cow., this is very pure and intense but light. Such delicious and resolved fruit. The restraint of the vintage shines though but there’s a purity and essence here. Great stuff — 9 months ago

Skerk

Ograde Carso Bianco Vitovska Blend

Horizontal tasting at home. Man U West Ham.

Sweet, honey nose. Deep orange. Medium body. Lively.

“Taking its name from the Slovenian word for "fences" the Skerk 2017 Ograde draws its fruit from hills that lie along the old Iron Curtain, roughly 230 meters in altitude. A blend of Vitovska, Malvasia, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, this is an outright orange wine that shines in the glass with copper and amber intensity. It delivers a unique bouquet with elements of candied fruit and caramel, alongside softer shadings of beeswax, apricot confit and even a distant touch of crushed stone, button mushroom and rosemary essence. In all, this hot-vintage rendition certainly shows a sweeter, voluptuous mouthfeel and phenolic padding that is extra rich. There is some dusty, tannic dryness on the close.” RP94, 2017
