Fleur De Vigne

Château Fleur Cardinale

Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

Strawberries, black cherries, dark chocolate and truffles. Very powerful. Apparently it is aged in 100% new oak, which is often not the best idea,but in this one it's perfectly integrated. Very long finish. — 4 days ago

La Ca' Nova

Vigne Bric Mentina Montefico Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2015

La Ca’Növa is now under fifth generation leadership; they used to sell all their fruit to Gaja. Super traditional methods with a twist; they used botti made of Austrian oak instead of Salvonian. Vigna Bric Mentina is a sub cru of the Montefico MGA where the soils are relatively sandy.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2015 “Vigna Bric Mentina” pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity and no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe Morello cherry, raspberry, strawberry, roses with freshly cut stems, cedar chest, dried herbs and gravelly earth and minerals. There’s also a kiss of VA, just in case you needed a reminder that this is a traditional Italian wine, lol! On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. This is absolutely baller. How did I sleep on this producer for so long? Oh yeah…I remember: access. I live in Omaha. Welp…now I have another producer to chase. Drink now with patience (enjoy the ride!) and through 2045.

Fleur de Mer

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

Nose of pears? Nectarines? Initials tartness of mild orange citrus? Opens up as it warms and becomes less tart and a hint of lemon at the end. — a month ago

Domaine Fourrier

Cherbaudes Vieille Vigne Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Love the vintage for Fourrier. 09 Cherbaudes is in a terrific place, showing substantial richness and power with wild red berry and earthy aromatics and a deep, concentrated palate with a lengthy mineral finish. While I prefer the more elegant and detailed Combe aux Moines in this vintage, Cherbaudes is quite delicious and very showy now. — 2 months ago

Marchesi Antinori

Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2021

2021 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Trademark voluptuousness/ blanket swaddling there in the early/mid going. Fell off on the finish with a bit of lingering tartness. Loved the 2016 and 2017. This is that but it ain't (all) that if you know what I mean. 3.25.26. — 20 days ago
