The in-laws kindly dropped off a lobster so had open a good Chardonnay to go with it. This Chassagne shows the richness of 2009 that paired well, will there is still a good acidity to keep it from showing a lot of heat. Lemon curd with some honey notes. Plenty of pleasure in this bottle! β 4 years ago
Part of a gift case from my in laws via WSJ. A nice nose of vanilla and fresh berry. Smooth up front, big blackberries and a hint of smoke? Had with meatloaf and a spicy ketchup chilies sauce. β 5 years ago
Forgotten bottle at my in laws. What a good surprise! Didn't know I had left it there π€·π»ββοΈ.
This is again a very biaised review as this comes from a vineyard located 10 miles away from where I grew up. A blend of negrette and syrah.
There is a strong violet, blackberry, irony, pepper nose. Very inviting. The palate is very much defined by its acid backbone and its vibrant blackberry and cherry note. There is a huge tannins wall in the middle here, drying up everything in its wake but making way to a fruity, peppery finish with a fruity twist. Huge wine for less than 10 euros β 3 years ago
Wow, do I love a Washington state wine!
Roasted hazelnut nose, with a couple of char ones on the mix.
Large, bold body, light berry, fruit leather, smoke, slate, and mirrors.
This is a wine that enjoys company, and I am lucky to dog sit my Sister in laws Ewok for a couple of days..

Gift from in-laws in 2020 looking forward to it β 4 years ago
Broke open the magnum when the in-laws visited the apartment for the first time. Was afraid it might be damaged given the length of time I had it and traveled ... But it wasn't. Great oakiness. Thick mouth feel. Deep colour β 4 years ago

In-laws brought this home from their trip to Sienna. Absolutely fantastic but the finish is short and not as earthy as I hoped. Still top tier. β 5 months ago
