Laurent-Perrier
Cuvée Rosé Brut Champagne 1812
NV. Slightly dirty intro. Settles down appreciably. Consistently classical. 3.4.26. — 11 days ago
Domaine Tempier
Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2015
I preferred this slightly over the cru La Tourtine, from the same year. This was slightly shorter but the flavor profile was more mature. Seemed like the ideal drinking window. — a month ago
Roederer Estate
L'Ermitage Brut Anderson Valley Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2019
Medium golden color. Right after opening, a honeycrisp apple, citrus, grapefruit and mineral notes on the nose and palate are evident. After some breathing, wine shows plenty of oxidative notes. It has a medium rich, creamy mouthfeel. First vintage to go through malo — 9 days ago
R. López de Heredia
Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001
This is what I think of when I think of Rioja. Dried cherry and cranberry is what I get right away, and then it has more savory/earthy notes like leather and mushroom. When I tasted it I said “it tastes old.” That is a compliment. Hints of vanilla and spice. Felt elegant with a long finish. Had it with fatty new york strips. Tannins and acidity balanced it well. Not a loud wine, but a great one. — 18 days ago

Built up a bit of excitement in selecting this Nuit-Saint George, then opened it up and neaaahhh!
All a bit flat. Nothing terribly wrong and it wasn’t corked, just no major aromas or flavors. Guess you can’t win em all. Or, we’ve just been spoiled with amazing wine and every now and then you pick an average one.
Still a great meal 😊 — 4 days ago
