Nose is faint, fully resolving into the body. Body is soft and supple but wonderful experience on the palate with medium finish. Great wine. Tannins are still there, but holding the body with gossamer gloves. — 8 months ago

N: Cherries, old shoe leather, tree bark, red verging on black. Has the quality of a freshly pitted bowl of cherries, pits still clinging to the flesh. It’s very “ lifted” as they say… Volnay like.
P: Seamless,delicate, acid but not overtly, not rich…gossamer. Delightful mouthfeel, silky.Red fruited, cherries & plums, some tobacco, integrated tannins. Mountain Nebbiolo indeed.

The legendary 2019. A stunning bottle. Nose starts out quiet but one can tell it’s all there. Rose petals. Vivid mid season cherry. Spices galore. Haunting. Ethereal. Classic Liaison. It opens up every 30 seconds or so aromatically. Wow. Nose is a 9.6. This is the best one since 15. Palate is so juicy, so lithe, so elegant and full of gorgeous and vivid sweet cherry fruit. A gossamer like texture as par the course. Tree bark, orange rind now on the nose. Tannins start to come in something fierce after around 15 minutes but they will add fruit as it airs. What a wine. Closest Liaison to the GC’s I’ve ever had. — 4 years ago

Last bottle of this in my cellar😔ABV on the lighter side @ 12.5% but I prefer a demur wine in comparison to an unabashed one. Previous notes apply ,a gorgeous gossamer of a wine! — 6 years ago

100 on the winary. tobacco, grass, freshly shorn sheep, galena, iron oxide, grapes, raspberry, a faint whiff of yellow birch bark, tangerine, notes of washed agate. maybe a fleeting gossamer thread of elderberry — 7 years ago

Bonkers showing. So ethereal and pretty with gossamer like strawberry and cranberry. Palate has a delicate Lacey like texture and lovely sweet fruit and elegant beautiful tannins. Rocking bottle. So ethereal and just like a red Riesling. A bottle to slam by yourself in 45 minutes. — 8 years ago

2010 vintage. This is firing on all cylinders now. Phenomenal. Impossibly gossamer featuring pear, Meyer lemon and traces of minerals. Wowzers. A fave Champagne producer and this is worth the search. 02.22.25. — a year ago

After sending back an oxidized, tired 2020 Rossi di Montalcino, the Somm had the waiter bring back this wine at around the same price point. Don’t sleep on #barberadalba from a great producer. Raspberry, plum, dusty dark fruit nose. So vibrant on the palate with lush yet tangy dark red fruit on the entry, gossamer tannins on the finish. Corking it after dinner and after the next day in the wine fridge still as alive. — 2 years ago

stop everything, corner yourself, and plunge into this rutabaga, flocked titanium frame, licorice root, tarmac, damp earth, distant diesel, stewed tomato, crushed petal, oleander?, cherry meat, candied gossamer violet caravan. this juice is a vampiric traffic cop with crawdad pincers, it halts and releases you in a screaming fluorescent red vest with unregulated grip. surrender or die. — 4 years ago

Sometimes you don’t need an excuse to open a bottle of #gevreychambertin. Vincent Girardin’s 2016 effort here is lovely. Decanted for 30+ minutes and tasting notes recorded over the next day as bottle opened up in wine fridge, sipping out of Burgundy glasses. Delicate aromas of cherry preserves, tobacco leaf and sandalwood. Plenty of weight on the palate, hints of licorice, cola nut, a wave of cherry and lingonberry with lush acidity on the finish and gossamer tannins trailing off into a mouth smacking long finish. Those dark fruit and tobacco notes plus the acidity paired well with wood fired turkey pepperoni pizza, believe it or not. It’s humbling to confirm the hundreds of years of hype are justified with the finer wines of #bourgogne.

Bruins win and this Pinot is a winner too. Beautiful nose of dark, sweet plum-tinged cherry, graham cracker, and rich moist gravel. Delicate in weight yet with intense flavors, it’s got nice acids and gossamer tannins. Long finish. Nice job! — 6 years ago

Toby Hill crafts a delicate Pinot Noir with a Burgundian ethos that speaks to the essence of site. This captures all the classic elements of the Cerise Vineyard, a site that remains a personal favorite. Rose petal, raspberries and cream, crushed minerals and salt, and of course its namesake tart red cherry flavors form a gossamer, ethereal wine that feels lighter than air. A taste of Chambolle in the Anderson Valley. — 8 years ago

No 2020 🔥 concerns with this acclaimed #threepalmsvineyard #merlot. A “relative” value for a 1.5L at a typically costly steakhouse wine list. Supremely elegant, didn’t have much time to properly taste at a customer dinner a fantastic wine with gossamer tannins. Beautiful pairing with a nicely cooked filet mignon. — 2 years ago

Graceful #yamhillcarlton #oregon #pinotnoir. For a 12 year-old Pinot, first day impression was it drank quite young. Second day the age shows a bit more with some initial oxidative funk that melts away revealing a still youthful and lithe core. Alluring Burgundian nose with layers of cherry, limestone, forest floor, kola nut, faint white mushroom. Throughly enjoyable palate with pleasingly plush texture, energetic acidity, sweet tobacco and long pepper on the finish. Gossamer tannins build on the palate after the inevitable repeated sips - this feels like a QPR benchmark for Oregon Pinots. — 4 years ago

N: Very balsamic, notes of wood, brandied cherries, forest, dark , tarry scents.Chocolate. Some earth.
P: Prominent acidity, tannins resolved, cherries, carries it’s 15° well, no trace of heat. It’s brown in the best way. A bit gossamer. — 5 years ago

2017 vintage. Forest floor and raspberry nose. Light-bodied. That silky/gossamer texture/body with a correspondingly delicate, yet concentrated finish. More subtle than the vast majority of California pinots but no less delicious. — 5 years ago

Wine #400 goes to the man who broke my bank account and also the man who introduced me to the power of white Burgundy. You have the Lafon and Roulot’s of the world and then you have Leroux. the guy is able to create the right balance between the silky gossamer feel of white burgundy and the high salinity profile I get with some New age Cali coastal chardonnays. Leroux is someone I’d look out for and take his wines seriously. Between Mikulski and Leroux... you can’t find better bargains. — 6 years ago
