The 1994 was initially a bit shy on the nose but after many hours in the decanter, it showed such amazing character. In fact, it shared some characteristics with a lightly peated single malt scotch, with light smoke, marmalade, honey, golden raspberry and wet stone. More of its character was unlocked with food. In this case, monkfish, sweet potato, leek, and winter truffle. Drink now through 2034+ — 11 days ago
Bright fruity nose, cherry and mango? Light acid, what's not to love? — 13 days ago
Not to be outdone, the 1989 Chave Hermitage Rouge showed more brambles than the ’88 along with other desiccated blue and black fruits. Dried flowers, beef, blood, leather and mushrooms. Every time I have the pleasure of drinking old Chave, I’m reminded that these wines have so much character and there is a reason they are so adored. Lovely with grilled lamb and Moroccan spices. Drink now through 2040. — 11 days ago
Medium Ruby color with layered aromas of fresh berry fruits with floral and earthy spice notes, aged 10 months in 20% new French oak. On the palate flavors of strawberry and raspberry with cigar box, oak, tea, citrus and earthy herb notes. Well balanced, savory fine rustic tannins, long finish ending with oaky earthy notes. Nice! — a month ago
juicy, tannic gamay with black cherry and some plum flavors, it feels like it has residue on the tongue adding some funk to the glass. i had this w/ maitake mushrooms on the menu at lalou. it’s really unique. i haven’t had a gamay with that much texture to it. i am a fan. — 19 days ago

Excellent single vineyard offering from ME. We like this style of Pinot, but it’s on the lighter side for sure. Still nice! — 15 days ago
