Nuits-Saint-Georges Pinot Noir 2016

Medium bodied, bold, and spicy, with some prominent ripe and slightly brandy like fruit, with surprising tartness and acidity. Nose is a good deal fresher, and more mature, with the same notes of raspberry, black cherry, fresh mulch, rose petal and some alcoholic like freshness at the finish. This is very good, but not as wildly complex as I thought. — 3 months ago

Chauvenet-Chopin

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2011

Much better than my last btl about 1.5 yrs ago. Oak better integrated, but still.char and a touch of pyrazine...which I guess I would call vintage character. On the palate: good acidity, roasted strawberry and excellent density with fantastic spice. Soft tannin on the juucy and spicy finish. Excellent. — 5 years ago

La Garenne Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022

2022 vintage. Open 3 hours before tasting. Medium-heavy body. Overt oak and trending more Meursault than P-M. Very little of the P-M subtlety and "minerality" one expects and pays for. Just okay with but less than stoked. Kinda pissed because this was sourced for a larger party that also wanted, and drank, Sancerre as well. Suddenly, not so pissed about this being off the range Puligny. 1.24.26. — 5 months ago

La Garenne Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022

2022 vintage. Tasted via Coravin. Medium-heavy body. Trashed label, tawdry goods. Knows exactly how to seduce and deliver and how. Plenty of acidity, fruit, minerals and balance. Excellent concentration throughout and pretties up on the loooong finish. An ascendant star. 02.26.25. — a year ago

Would have guessed maybe 2017 or so… such a young and lively wine for a 2009. A year that was hot and sunny in the Loire, but that is not a problem here. — 4 years ago

This was the WOFTN. Even better than the 03 Calon-Segur & 21 Lithology, but the Lithology had been open a week in the cooler. Still good just not its true self.

The winemakers for the 2016 Kelly Fleming Cabernet Sauvignon were Rebecca George and Françoise Peschon. Rebecca George was the day-to-day winemaker, and Françoise Peschon, consulting Winemaker.

Photo features their new consulting Winemaker, Jennifer Williams as if 7/23.

Excellent mature Burg of earth, ripe black fruits and a complex weighty yet stimulating and silky lithe texture carrying through to finish. Went well with the of best Mary fusion glass noodle chapchei with mackerel fish and hints at its broad utility. Aged well. 3 bottles bought in ‘05, GL32, hopefully have one more. — 6 years ago
