Cloudy urine colour. With marshmallow creme enamel topping. Alpine sunrise lacing. Yeasty nose shows chive and beet greens. Grapefruit and black lime. Full palate creaminess turns sharp with lemon pith and oil surfacing. Microgreens and dried apricot form the parameters while yeasty pomelo notes bolster the core. Very zingy finish that refreshes the palate and adds substance.

Strong head builder; just under cappuccino. Arch and aqueduct lacing. Dark chocolate ganache and espresso notes veil a burnt black cherry and dark rye bread nose. Black coffee and bittersweet chocolate grip the palate, with burnt pecan edges. A creaminess suggests hazelnut oil, cola bean, tonka, carob, and mildly, ginger snap. Easy to drink stout that doesn’t give in to superlative extremes. Lovely beer!

Augustiner-Brau-München Maximator dopplebock.
After an afternoon of stuffing homemade sausages as a fundraiser for our kid's school, there may be no better nightcap than this impeccable beer.
Chocolatey, toasty, very well balanced, even with its relatively high gravity, many new world brewers could learn something here.

Interestingly I had this wine with a bottle of 2019 Saint Josephs from Domaine Remizieres. The Mesa Del Sol was a bit more oxidized with a bit more acid, and the Rhone wine was a bit more complex, but they were very difficult to otherwise distinguish. Good job. — a month ago

Fruity, smooth and flavorful. Pairs well with food or enjoyed on its own. I'd order this again. — 6 years ago

9.0

Guigal’s entry-level Côte-Rôtie, it is mostly Syrah with a touch of Viognier (4%) from plots in two areas of Côte-Rôtie: the Côte Blonde, with limestone-rich soils and Cote Brune (iron-rich, darker soils, hence the name. Aged for 36 months in oak barrels (50% new). Dark ruby color. Spices, smoke notes. Full-bodied, concentrated, but relatively lean on the palate (compared to the Saint Josephs tasted earlier) — 2 years ago

Ebullient coiffure. White and high. Recoiling sectioned serpent turns caption ball lacing. Doughy, almost peirogi nose shows orange and tangerine piths, crispy breadstick, lightest white pepper, raw peanut, and caramelized shallots. Grape leaves, brown sugar sanding, salsify, baby corn and pumpernickel.

One of the finest St Josephs I’ve ever tasted. Quiet, calm, utterly pure Syrah that’s complete and close to perfection. Not trying to be anything other than the stately, refined thing it is. Reminds me of what this appellation was when no one wanted these wines and nobody cared. — 6 years ago
