Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2012

These used to be cheap - not any more 40$ for the new vintage this was 26$. Classic and super elegant. A ton of tannins left: 14%. Fermented dark olives. Dark cherries. Way better than the 2013 chianti reserva I popped for our italian dinner club. These are the wines kids should try - but hey our brillant marketing 🤡 priced them out of trying quality nebbiolo so they switch to cocktails and beer! Well done. Will go for 5-10 more years with ease. — 3 months ago

@Pinotman /// Andreas always so good. The single vineyard ones used to be the best high end values in the world imho. Not anymore. Still great though.

Buntsandstein Pinot Noir 2015

Brillant check others who rated this wine. Pinot does not get much better than this. See also my previous notes. Stylistically in line with previous vintages. — 5 years ago

Cuvée Florine Côtes du Jura Chardonnay

Well this is a super clean and vibrant wine. No sulfite can bring terrible results but when done right by winemakers who really know what it takes, it can bring brillant results. — 6 years ago

Domaine Le Clos de Caveau

Carmin Brillant Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend 2015

Nice set of four Vacqueuras 60/40 Grenache/Syrah blends from Henri Bungener at RawWine LA, represented by the Carmin Brillant here. Each of the four are the same blend but each from a different part of the Vineyard slope with different soil/geologic features. The Fruit Sauvage bottling was a 9.2 and went very well with Soft Pretzel and Sausage sampler at Tabula Rasa. — 9 years ago

Les Chaffots Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

100% stem inclusion and foot stomped. A brillant wine perhaps the best he made so far. Spice elements bark tart port wine hint of bitter like in a high end amarone. Stem complexity not fully resolved yet which some folks have a tough time with. Cedar box black tea tons of tannins. Keep for 10 more years! I just had his 15's with the importer they are fantastic!

Rubis brillant
Nez fruit rouge groseille épices notes viandées
Bouche attaque un peu sur l alcool et sur l acidite
Milieu un peu aqueux
Finale longue sur l epice mais un peu trop sur l alcool et matière trop tendue
Pour moi un vin doit aller plus loin ici l empreinte du vigneron domine l appelation

Enderle & Moll

Muschelkalk Pinot Noir 2009

What can I say? Needs about 30 min of air odd at first and than absolutely brillant. Raspberry driven, thyme, touch oregano, lime, quite tannic at first which mellows out in the glass over time. Drink now or keep for 1-2 years more. A benchmark wine. A unicorn, A singleton, no one makes wine like Enderle & Moll. A perfect match with Salmon. Needs food. — 5 years ago
