Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Deep opaque plummy purple, good legs. I smell vanilla, blackberry, and... gummy vitamins? Full bodied and very fruity. I wish the tannin was more present, it'd balance out the fruit better. I'll give it some air and see what's what. — 21 hours ago

The Velvet Devil Washington State Merlot

Beautiful and very well rounded. Less sweet than I usually like but still so tasty. Very full on the nose- hints of flush red fruit. Nice acidity and tannin balance. — a month ago

Domaine Jean Grivot

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2020

Delectable Wine
9.6

The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is well-defined on the nose with joyful brambly red fruit laced with crushed stone, certainly one of the more mineral-driven wines from the famed closed wall. There is an almost crystalline quality here. The palate is medium-bodied with a sense of strictness, fresh and quite sapid, not powerful yet taut, and has a finish that makes you want another sip. This is a 2020 that surpassed expectations. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2024)

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2018

Beautiful wine from a few weeks ago at a great dinner in Stockholm. Dark and red fruits with subtle spices, tannins that stayed in the background and a hint of vanilla. Very enjoyable — 13 days ago
