L'effet Papillon

Domaine des Baumard

Clos du Papillon Savennières Chenin Blanc 2004

Amazing freshness with the 20+ age, spicy nose, pure minerality.
Hints of beeswax, shy quince, salty rocks, the purity here is just insane.
On the palate this hits with brilliant acidity (not far from Fino!), paired with spicy minerality and barely a hint of apples sprinkled with fleur de sel. Great depth and amazing electric tension.
This is brilliant! I am blown away. Wowza!

Orin Swift Cellars

Machete Petite Sirah Blend

The label is, as usual, original. It's my fourth wine from Orin Swift Cellars (after "Abstract", "Papillon" and "Palermo"). And it's fantastic.

it is a blend of petite syrah, syrah and grenache. Ink color. The nose is full of fruity aromas: a plum, a blackberry and a blackcurrant and sweet liqueur aromas. Also the palate. But there you can also find a leather and a cocoa. Pleasant acidic finale reduces sweetness and closes this wine.

L'abeille et Le Papillon

Yura Alsace White Blend 2023

Mostly Pinot blanc. Apparently some hot shot Alsace producer. Enjoyable but didn’t blow me away. Pretty “medium” on most dimensions. — a month ago
