Dassai Sake Brewery

Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki Sake

After a line-up featuring the likes of Aramasa, Yamamoto, Tatenokawa, and Ohmine, the Dassai 23 Centrifuge came off a little boring. As JT puts it, “It’s what I’d expect saké to taste like.” Then chef Alex added the darnest comment, “Doesn’t it remind you of soju.” Hahahaha.

Rich, round and heavy, with an almost sterile quality to the finish, it definitely wasn’t up my alley but I got to commend how lovely the silky textures were. Solid though - Dassai is Dassai, like how Dom is Dom. Reliability at scale.

Les Chamois du Paradis Côtes du Jura Chardonnay 2013

En magnum. After the painfully mineral 13' Vaillons from Raveneau, this just didn't find much love from the group. It wasn't lacking in anyway though. In fact, as JT puts it, this had grand cru concentration and length. The wine begs for air, which we promptly gave it, but it never really opened even after a day of exposure. Oddly, it went from muted (nose) to slightly oxidised across that period. Expected? In spite of this, there's much to love about the wine - Round and generous body with plenty of acidity. Citrus fruit, lanolin, spiced nuts, and chalky minerality. Undeniably length. — 5 years ago

Second young Ganevat this year that failed to open after ample air 🤔🤔🤔

Château de Paillet-Quancard

Cadillac - Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

8.9

Drank 8/6/18.  Paired with pork and a dijon mustard cream sauce.  The lighter tannins would make this a nice pairing for a wide variety of foods. 

Medium nose of red cherry and some tar notes.  Palate of cherry and some plum, with bright acidity and medium tannins providing the framework. Some darker fruits and tar notes on the medium finish.  A nice everyday drinker.

3/22/7/4/3 + 50 = 89 pts.

Thanks @JT

tastes VERY berry .. like a cup of blueberry juice. very little, if any, spiciness of the shiraz seems not there. it did become more agreeable at room temp, but really not the best from JT. — 4 years ago
